Aslantaş Dam Lake is a dam with a shore adjacent to Karatepe-Aslantaş Open-Air and Closed Museum. Considering the historical value of this region, it is important to identify the raw material that has been precipitated and to investigate its use in ceramics. Particle size and distribution was defined with laser particle sizer of sedimentary clay material. The chemical and mineralogical composition of raw material was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Thermal behaviour of sample was studied by Thermogravimetric/Differential Scanning Analyzer (TGA-DTA) and Optical Dilatometer (ODHTM). The body samples were prepared by semi-dry (plastic shaping), the engobes were colored and applied on bodies made of ceramic muds in different compositions. The samples were fired at 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C and shrinkage values were measured for each bodies. The color properties obtained after firing was defined as CIE-L*a*b* parameters. In the light of these results, it was determined that the raw material could be used as a ceramic body and an engobe, but because of the high amount of calcium carbonate, it was found that the engobe applied as a thin layer would have better results.
