MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS FROM NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL STONE OF KING DANIEL ROMANOVICH’S 13th CENTURY RESIDENCE IN CHOLM

Materials obtained during archaeological excavations on the place of castle in the city of Cholm (today Chełm in Poland), in the area of king Daniel’s 13th century residential complex, have been subject to examination. They are in the forms of bricks and glazed tiles, as well as sizeable shapeless and purposeless accumulations indicating post-manufacturing remains. The materials are white, green and multi-colored. They refer to Halychian alabasters and green glaukonitite from Cholm, which were originally used there. The examination of white materials was performed.
