Abstract
The results of comprehensive study of the roofing ceramics fragments found during excavations on the Eski-Kermen plateau (headed by Aibabin and Khairedinova, Bakhchisarai district, Crimean Peninsula) are reported. This ceramics has been investigated by local and integral diagnostic methods, including scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The characteristic features of the Eski-Kermen tile are identified as a result of the research in accordance with the classification previously proposed by archaeologists.
