The article presents the results of the analysis of fragmented glazed ceramics obtained during the expedition of the Margulan Institute of Archaeology in 2021 at the tortkuls of Talapty, Jargul-1–3, Arna. The monuments date back to the 10th – beginning of the 13th century. Irrigation ceramics are an important chrono-indicator. The development of ceramic production is directly related to technical achievements, economics, and trade. The tortkuls of the Talas Valley acted as a link on the route of the Great Silk Road. The pottery products of local craftsmen were the object of trade, both with the nearest regions and more distant ones.
