In Seleukeia Sidera, evidence indicating to the local coarse ware production has been obtained during the field surveys and excavations. To identify the scope and scale of the production and to correlate locally produced wares to existing typology, archaeometrical analyses have been done on samples from all coarse ware functional groups including preparing/serving vessels and cooking wares. Moreover, to determine the clay raw materials, analyses also were undertaken on clays collected from two different spots in the close vicinity of the ancient city. Archaeometrical analyses have shown that coarse wares from various functional groups and forms were produced between the 1st century and 7th century AD. Preparing/serving and cooking wares were produced with the clays obtained from an area close to modern Atabey Dam Lake without interruption. In addition, another clay bed in the vicinity of the city was exploited in the Late Roman Period for producing a smaller functional group.
