Annotation. The article examines two Muslim tombstones found in 2021 during earthworks in the city of Stary Krym. The monuments have well-preserved inscriptions containing the names of the buried and the date – Rabi-ul avval 684 AH. =(1285). The tombstones date back to the early period of development of the Golden Horde city of Solkhat/Kirim and are the earliest Muslim tombstones in the Crimea that have survived to this day. Muslim tombstones dating back to the 13th century are a rather rare find for the Crimea, which indicates the value of the found specimens.
Keywords: Stary Krym, Golden Horde, Solkhat, tombstones, epigraphy.
