Abstract
The article presents the results of the analysis of fragmented glazed ceramics obtained during the expedition of the Margulan Institute of Archaeology in 2021 at the tortkuls of Talapty, Jargul-1–3, Arna. The monuments date back to the 10th – beginning of the 13th century. Irrigation ceramics are an important chrono-indicator. The development of ceramic production is directly related to technical achievements, economics, and trade. The tortkuls of the Talas Valley acted as a link on the route of the Great Silk Road. The pottery products of local craftsmen were the object of trade, both with the nearest regions and more distant ones.
