A lot of spherical cones were found at excavations in Bilyar and Bulgar - capitals of the Volga Bulgaria of 10-14th centuries. The interdisciplinary research of spherical coneswas carried out on 13 fragments from Bilyar and Bulgar settlements. Subjects were analyzed by the following methods: X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy and petrographic (OMPA), differential thermal-magnetic (DTMA), emission spectral analysis (ESA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). XRD and OMPA demonstrated the similarity of m...
