The firing method of common Bolgar ceramics remains an unsolved question. For a long time, the firing of common wheel pottery was only evaluated in subjective terms “bad” and “good”. In the framework of the study of a series of petrographic slice of common Bolgar ceramics from the Bolgar fortifi ed settlement, results were obtained, which shed light on the upper limit of the firing temperatures. By comparing this data with construction details of Bolgar kilns built in the Pre-Mongol and Early Golden Horde periods, an assumption was made about the fi ring method of local wheel pottery in the 10th – early 14th cc.
