Abstract

The paper discusses a ceramic bricks from Uvek settlement using the results of fi eld and laboratory studies of 1998–2020. The goal of the research was to defi ne the physico-technical characteristics of bricks from Uvek settlement for historico-architectural, technical and economic substantiation of the construction technologies of the Golden Horde, for reconstruction and restoration work, for computer modeling in virtual and augmented reality systems. The paper presents data on the diverse shapes and dimensions of the bricks, and the imprints on its surface. It discusses the results of studies aimed at establishing the elemental composition of the ceramic material using the Auger method and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) to identify the raw material mining sites. Data is provided on the average density of the brick, its group in terms of thermal characteristics, emissivity coeffi cient, water absorption by weight, ultimate compression and bending strength, and its brand in accordance with the parameters regulated by the state standard in effect.
