Abstract
A comparative analysis of the mortars used in the construction of two burial structures in medieval Crimean cities, namely Eski-Kermen and Gorzuvit, was conducted. In both instances, lime mortar was employed. The faunal remains discovered within the lime base enabled the origin of the carbonate raw material to be determined. In the case of Eski-Kermen, the lime mortar was prepared from Eocene nummulitic limestone, which constitutes the plateau itself. In contrast, the limestone of the Upper Oxfordian deposits of the southern slopes of the Main Ridge of the Crimean Mountains was used in Gorzuvit. As technological admixtures in Gorzuvites, rounded large pebbles (of river or sea origin), sand, presumably of river origin, and plant remains were employed. On the Eski-Kermen plateau, due to the limited availability of resources, mainly only heterogeneous, fairly large fragments of crushed, partially burnt ceramics were used. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis that local changes in the formulation of solutions are associated with the availability of raw materials near the construction site, both natural and anthropogenic.
