Taşkıran also mentioned that as a result of the excavation, they encountered various artifacts, including coins, metal objects, weaponry, ceramics, and lamps, all dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries.
Taşkıran stated that restoration and conservation work on the bath is ongoing, adding, "The significance of the bath lies in the fact that after the region came under Turkish-Islamic rule in the 13th century, we didn't have much information about urbanization here. This finding is extremely important as it highlights the significance of urban development in this area and represents one of the rare structures of this plan type."
Taşkıran expressed that during the excavation, they found that the Roman bath was utilized by the Turks who arrived in the region during the Turkish-Islamic period, leading to the construction of an additional bath within it. He emphasized that this demonstrates the cultural continuity of Turkish-Islamic heritage in the bath.
Taşkıran stated that no damage was done to the existing bath, and that additions were made without tearing down any walls or undergoing repairs. He noted, "During our excavation of the bath's floor, we observed the original Roman flooring. The Roman floor is adorned with baked clay mosaics, which remain intact and undamaged. This clearly shows that the Muslim Turks who came here in the 13th and 14th centuries reflected Anatolian wisdom in this space. It beautifully exemplifies our ancestors' perspective on these places and the civilization they established."
