The article deals with the technological, typological features and ornamental motifs of unglazed ceramics for kitchen purposes, elevated during archaeological excavations in the South Aral settlements, related to the period of the Khorezmshah. It mainly describes the kitchen ceramics presented from the Khorezmshah quarters of the settlements of Mizdakhkan, Dzhampykkaly, Pulzhai and other monuments of the left-bank part of the Amudarya delta. Particular attention is paid to the technological, typological features and ornamental motifs of kitchen utensils. It is proved that kitchen utensils occupy a unique place among the unglazed products and material culture of the medieval settlements of the South Aral region. According to the morphological structure, the kitchen utensils of the South Aral region are compared with material artifacts from other regions of Central Asia settlements. Owing to the decorative elements of kitchen products, some elements of folk applied art of the ethnic groups of the South Aral region are given. Ceramics of this period, in comparison with the previous one, undergoes significant changes. The production of embossed kitchen implements is sharply reduced. Kitchen utensils were widely used in everyday life among the population of the South Aral along with other utensils in the Khorezmshah period. In ethnography, it is known that such vessels were considered a cult object.
