Physicomechanical Studies of Ancient Ceramics Discovered in Kyrgyzstan

Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The results of multi-method studies of the physicochemical properties of Bronze to (late) Middle Ages ceramic found in different regions of Kyrgyzstan are examined. The methods consist of complementary: measurement of the hardness by the Rockwell method and determination of the density by the hydrostatic weighing method. The apparent density and the water absorption are determined and the open porosity is calculated. An integrated professional study of ceramics from different archaeological sites will make an appreciable contribution to the implementation of a strategy for the development of the Republic and will help to recreate a complete picture of Kyrgyzstan’s historical and cultural heritage.
