Abstract
Fragments of ancient amphorae and tiles dated to the IVth to IInd centuries BC, which were found on the Crimean peninsula, have been investigated by methods of scanning and transmission/scanning electron microscopy, combined with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The revealed differences in the compositions of the clay core and inclusions (leaners) are associated with the differences in the periods of time when items were made and the sites of their origin.
