Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the stages in the history of non-pourable ceramics study of the medieval Kazan. Ceramics is the most massive category of archaeological finds during the excavations of medieval cities. It contains significant information that contributes to the solution of layer chronology issues and associated structures of the population ethnic-cultural composition. Moreover, the study of ceramics contributes to the issue of social-economic development of pottery and makes it possible to use it for the dating of archaeological sites. The work presents the main results of archaeological investigations of 1923-1956 conducted by N.F. Kalinin on the territory of the Kazan Kremlin and the historical part of the city. His works are the first attempts to classify and systematize non-pourable ceramics. He also uses technological attributes in the systematization of ceramics: texture, color, thickness and density of a crock, dividing the entire Tatar ceramics into 7 groups, and Russian ceramics into 5 groups on these grounds. The ceramics of medieval Kazan still requires additional research. The obtained results are important not only for the study of the history of Kazan, but also for the study of the region history.
