This paper aimed to understand of the coarse wares of the two late Roman building at Anemurium. The wares studied in this paper were excavated in the Building A and Building B between 2018 and 2021 field seasons at Anemurium ancient city. The buildings are close to the central ridge of the city. The excavation of these buildings did not reveal a stratigraphical sequence, besides that, architectural remains unearthen. Consequently we are evaluating the material as an accumulation. The houses and coarse wares shares the same dating. These dated to the late Roman period. The coarse ware of the Building A and Building B other than the cooking pots and amphorae consist of jars-storage vats, basins-mortars, bowls?/funnels?, bottels-jugs and lids. Some of the types are studied by Williams. But some the types of jag-storage ware, basin-mortar, unguentaria, bottle-jug, strainer jug and the domed shaped lids are the new discoveries for Anemurium coarse ware assamblage. Anemurium is a part of the coarse ware type tradition of the rough Cilicia. According to the coarse ware finds we can suggest that Building A and Building B builded for different purposes.
