The work is being carried out within the framework of UNESCO’s project "Preservation of the Silk Road monuments of Chuy Valley – Krasnaya Rechka- Navekat, Ak-Beshim- Suyab, Burana-Balasagyn”.
This will lead to the creation of the first archaeological park in Central Asia.
In the 1950s in Krasnaya Rechka village archeologists found the walls of an ancient Buddhist shrine dating to the 8th-9th centuries. The walls contained well-preserved elements of inner decor and statues. The sanctuary was surrounded with a traditional corridor, in the western passage.
Since 2004 the systematic archaeological works with participation of international experts and Kyrgyz specialists have been undertaken. This summer dwelling houses, a palace, a citadel, and necropolis of the Karakhanid epoch were found on the ancient site. |
