Abstract

Relevance of the studied problem is conditioned by a possibility to recovery information on the time and place of vessels production that allows to set the directions of trade relations and to establish a level of technologies development and features of vocational schools. The article studies the fragments of glazed ceramic pottery found on the territory of Kazan Kremlin from 1994 to 2001. The main research method of a problem was the method of the emission spectrum analysis. Study of the element glaze composition showed that it is made of the so-called "lead" compounding and has a chemical composition similar to ceramics from the large production centers that existed during various periods: Kadikalesi in Turkey (12th -13th centuries) and in the cities of the Crimea of the 13th -14th centuries. The conducted researches show continuity of production technologies of glazed ceramics of different schools. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n6s5p297

Highlights

  • Samples of glazed ceramic vessels are among the number of expressive findings of the archaeological monuments possessing significant information

  • Glazed ceramics with different structures was found in the beddings of the Kazan Khanate dated back to the 14th -16th centuries as a result of archeologists’ researches on the territory of Kazan Kremlin in the 1990s (Khalikov, 1989)

  • The mapping of finds through Kazan Kremlin territory allows revealing places of concentration of similar glazed ceramics. 52 samples from the total number come from excavations at the Khansky Yard

Summary

Introduction

Samples of glazed ceramic vessels are among the number of expressive findings of the archaeological monuments possessing significant information. A preliminary research of three ceramic fragments was conducted for identification of the most appropriate analytical method (Sitdikov & Khramchenkova, 2015) According to these researches, the emission spectrum analysis that allows defining the main, minor and trace elements as well appeared to be the most informative method. Studying of the glazed ceramics can give invaluable information about the time and a place of vessels production It allows setting the directions of trade relations, to establish a level of development of technologies and to define the features of vocational schools. In this regard, the objective of this work was to study the chemical composition of ceramics from the excavations of Kazan Kremlin
