Abstract

This text is about the problem of typology, localization of the producing and dating of medieval building ceramics (Flanged tiles) of the South-Western Crimea. The investigation of products of tile production centers in the South-Western Crimea allowed to systematize a large complex of archaeological sources. They came from various archeological sites that were located throughout the region. Technological and morphological typology allowed to arrange and dating all this complexes and different material in some cases with an accuracy of up to two decades. The unified technological and morphological description and typology of the material described development and evolution of tile production craft in the South-Western Crimea trough the Medieval time. Therefore, this work could be a variant of a unified field guide for medieval Flanged tiles from Crimean sites and a chronological chart for them.

Highlights

  • Medieval building ceramics of the South-Western Crimea is a unique archaeological material, which in many collections and complexes represents a significant part of them

  • He believed that medieval relief marks on building ceramics have the same origin and meaning as stamps on antique Flanged tiles

  • At the base of Zavadskaya’s work there is a local technological typology for building ceramics from Eski-Kermen supplemented by a modernized typology of craft marks (Завадская 2008, с. 294—304; 2010, с. 254)

Summary

Introduction

Medieval building ceramics of the South-Western Crimea is a unique archaeological material, which in many collections and complexes represents a significant part of them. In the first works on medieval building ceramics of the South-Western Crimea the latter was typologized and dated based on its craft marks. He believed that medieval relief marks on building ceramics have the same origin and meaning as stamps on antique Flanged tiles. At the base of Zavadskaya’s work there is a local technological typology for building ceramics from Eski-Kermen supplemented by a modernized typology of craft marks (they are showed with the entire flanged tile only) The technology of flanged tile production on the RBTF captures the development of the technology on one of the Crimean TPC in the edge of the 700s/800s This date should be taken as a chronological point for Crimean material. Bottom limit of the using transitional upper flange forms are the 840s (Флёров 1995, с. 486, 488), the time when RBTF
