The ceramic assemblage dating to the last quarter of the 17th - early 18th centuries from the excavations of the new prikazy buildings in the Moscow Kremlin

The paper provides statistical data on a narrowly dated ceramic assemblage dating to the modern era from excavations conducted by the Institute of Archaeology, RAS, that uncovered a foundation pit of the New Prikazy building facade (1675-1770). The assemblage demonstrates a chronological section in use of various vessels frequently found in the Moscow market and commonly used by the Prikazy officials. The typology of the vessels used and percentage shares of various functional forms of the vessels (pots, jars, etc.) is quite singular. Large earthenware ewers made from light clay have been found in Moscow for the first time.
