Dr. Lecturer Özgen stated that they are conducting work in two campaigns over an area of approximately 9,000 square meters in Ören Neighborhood.
Özgen stated that they reached multi-layered cultural strata in the detection soundings carried out in the area, and in the second campaign, they unearthed a residential structure from the Roman period.
Özgen explained that the halls were adorned with mosaic floors, fresco-covered walls, and figurative and geometric embellishments, saying: "Especially in the northern hall, there are 15 panels featuring different types of birds, a fish figure, and a winged horse figure, which was represented on the coins of the city of Adramytteion in the 4th century BC. It is quite significant that the winged horse, this motif, appears as an element representing the city in a Roman period structure approximately 500 years after its use on coins."
Özgen stated that cat and dog figures were also found in the mosaics, and that the names of the animals were inscribed along with them.
Özgen stated that the cat figure was depicted with a name meaning "Emerald" and the dog with the name "Oceanos," noting that these details allowed for evaluations regarding the owner of the structure.
Özgen expressed that the decorations and finds in the eastern hall indicated the structure's use in the 2nd century AD, and stated that the structure continued to be used in later periods.
