The article is devoted to the collection of ceramics found during archaeological excavations in the medieval town of Kastek, researched in 2011–2020 by Zhetysu archaeological expedition of the A.Kh. Margulan Archaeology Institute under the leadership of A. Nurzhanov (1957–2021). Ceramics is the main source in the periodization of the cultural layer of medieval cities and settlements. In addition, the production of ceramic products in cities and its products determine the high skill of handicraft. Archaeological research on the medieval settlement of Kastek has been carried out since 2011. During this period, various scientific articles were published on the study of various problems, including issues related to the analysis of ceramics. Since the collection of ceramic products found in the city has been preserved very well, it is possible to classify it by types, forms, and methods of production. Ceramics of the city of Kastek in the field season of 2018 belong to 2 stages: 8thcentury – the beginning of the 10th century; 10thcentury – the beginning of the 13th century. In the manufacture of ceramic products, local raw materials with a natural additive (feldspar, quartz) were used. The main goal of the article is the introduction into scientific circulation of some ceramic products obtained during excavations in 2018, as well as the analysis of ceramics of the medieval settlement of Kastek, including the search for analogies in the materials of a synchronous set of monuments. To achieve this goal, new data are presented, previously published publications are analyzed, the degree of study of the material is discussed.
