Abstract
The authors present the latest information obtained during the archaeological research of the central mausoleum of the Golden Horde memorial complex, located near the village Lapas of the Astrakhan region. Within the scientific circle, the complex of mausoleums is associated with the burial place of the Juchid khans and representatives of the Golden Horde elite. The article gives a detailed description of the building material and architectural decoration used in the construction of the mausoleum. The analysis of the obtained samples of bricks and tiles allows us to propose their classification and typology based on the use of various materials and manufacturing techniques. The connection with architectural traditions and construction techniques of medieval Khorezm is traced. Based on the preliminary analysis, the prospects for further study of the construction technologies used in the creation of this unique architectural complex are outlined.
