%X In this paper, the Late Roman pottery found in a farmstead in Sector HBT of the Klazomenai excavations between 1990 and 2001 is examined. The main plan of the farmstead is not completely preserved. Only seven units of the building remained and the units of which the functions could be determined follow as two courtyards in the north and south, a triclinium (dining room) in the east, and a storeroom in the northeast. The northern courtyard with a stone pavement is the main one, while the southern with a cistern in the center should be the secondary courtyard. The farmstead was built in the beginning of the 5th century and then approximately two hundred years later, abandoned in consequence of Arab conquests in 630/640 AD. The Late Roman pottery found in the building is divided into three main groups. The first group consists of African Red Slip (ARS) wares and Late Roman C (LRC) wares which constitute the majority of the finds from the building. The ARS wares started to be seen in Klazomenai at around 400 AD and disappeared in the middle of the same century. The LRC wares then took the place of the ARS wares in the same period and dominated the market in the city until the early 7th century AD. There are four different forms such as Hayes Form 45/46, Hayes Form 59B, Hayes Form 61B, Hayes Form 61C and Hayes Form 66 within the ARS wares in small quantities at Klazomenai. Constituting the majority of the fine wares in Klazomenai, LRC wares are represented by eight forms. The most popular form among the LRC wares in Klazomenai is Hayes Form 3, of which all subtypes are found. Among the amphorae, the second group, five different types have been identified such as LR 1A, LR 1B, Keay 57 and M 273. LR 1A is the most common type of amphora in Klazomenai. The last group, are kitchen wares including cooking pots, mugs, and basins. In this study, the pottery will be first classified by their functions and production places. Then the subgroups within this main classification, which is defined according to the shapes and typology of the pottery, will follow. After the classification, the paper will try to understand the function and the type of this Late Roman building. Considering the other archaeological material dated to the Late Roman period, the settlement patterns of the Late Roman period at Klazomenai will be studied. Although the research on the pre-Roman periods of Klazomenai provided information about the history of the city late antique period studies are limited. Therefore, this study accounts as a preliminary research upon understanding Late Antique
