Abstract

The paper examines problems of preserving traditional building materials (adobe, rammed earth and baked brick) in the historical architectural sites of Karakalpakstan on the basis of an analysis of scientific literature and documents. The problems are grouped into physico-chemical, intervention-quality, management-monitoring and environmental categories, and a criterion for distinguishing compatible from incompatible materials is proposed. The lack of quantitative material data for Karakalpak sites is identified as a research gap.
