Study of ancient ceramics of the southern coast of Issyk-Kul by the X-ray fluorescent method
Determination of the production center of ancient ceramics is one of the most important aspects of the study of ceramic production technology. In solving this issue, the X-ray fluorescence method plays a decisive role. Therefore, in this work, there are considered the results of the study of ancient ceramics by the X-ray fluorescence method in order to clarify the clay deposit, which could have been used by ancient ceramists of archaeological complexes located on the southern coast of Issyk-Kul. At the same time, a study of clay samples from supposed ancient quarries, which are located close to the studied objects, was carried out in parallel. For ease of comparison, the chemical compositions of the clays are calculated on the calcined substance.
