The microstructure of ancient Issyk-Kul ceramic was studied using a scanning electron microscope, making it possible not only to see the relative arrangement of the mineral particles, pores, and microcracks but also to perform a quantitative analysis of the main microstructural metrics. The ceramic samples from the bottom of Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan), where the ruins of many ancient settlements are located, were studied.
