Aphysicochemical analysis was undertaken of fragments of medieval glazed ceramic found at different times in medieval towns located in the Chui, Talas, and Kochkor Valleys of Kyrgyzstan. The samples of glazed ceramic were studied by means of x-ray fluorescence and microscopic analyses. The physicochemical studies of the ceramic glaze from different archaeological complexes on the territory of Kyrgyzstan made it possible to identify the colorants and their features as well as the coloring technology and to note important moments in the historical development of the Gonchar crafts associated with the history of glazed ceramics in the countries of Central Asia.
