Kostobe

The excavation area contains multiple layers of settlement structures, protective walls, and remnants of ancient trade activities along the Silk Roads.

Kostobe served as a crucial junction point along the Chang'an-Tianshan trade corridor, connecting merchants from China to Central Asia during medieval times.

The site reveals the convergence of multiple civilizations through recovered artifacts, including ceramics, coins, and architectural elements from different cultures.

The archaeological site requires advance permission for visits, and local guides facilitate access through designated pathways to protect sensitive excavation areas.

Research teams have identified specific construction techniques in the fortification walls that combine methods from both Eastern and Western architectural traditions.
