Abstract
This is the third part of the survey of archaeological ceramics kept in the Department of Archaeological Monuments (sector of the Early Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages and sector of the Middle Ages) of the State Historical Museum (Moscow). It is devoted by the materials of the Middle Ages. The published material is divided into sections in accordance with the geographical, cultural and chronological principles: ceramics of the early Slavic and the Old Russian period, The Central Asia and the Lower Volga region, the Byzantine and Khazar period, the medieval Crimea, Bosporus, and the ceramics of the Late Middle Ages. The chronological framework covers the early Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century. The early Slavic and the Old Russian period is presented by the materials of Gnezdovo, the Yaroslavl Volga region etc. The collections of the Central Asia are included the Afrasiab settlement, Dzhanbas-Kala, Zamakhshar, Narindzhan-Baba, etc. The Lower Volga collections consist the materials of Bolgar, Bilyar, Suvar, Madzhar, Selitrennoe, Vodyanskoe, Tsarevskoye settlements. The biggest block of the byzantine ceramics, is represented by the materials of Chersoneses. The collection of ceramics of the Khazar period is represented by etalon sites of the Saltovo-Mayaki culture. The ceramics collections of Crimea and Bosporus are illustrated by the materials of the “cave cities”, Feodosia, Kerch and Phanagoria. The materials of the period Moscow Rus are ceramics from the Moscow and all nearby provinces. Ceramic vessels come from various sites, many of which are benchmarks for their time. The funds were formed from the end of the 19th century and continue to be replenished at the present time. Many collections have not yet been published or have been published only partly and require study and introduction into scientifiс circulation at the modern scientific level.
