Abstract

During long-term studies on the walled town contradictory data have been accumulated on the dating, chronology and periodization of main objects. They were formed during more than 250 years of the Bohai state history (698–926) and formed asynchronical building horizons. Excavations on the part of the residential area near the temple complex and fortifications made it possible to correlate the stages of their construction and modification, propose a general periodization and define more exactly the chronology of the site, taking into account information from written sources. In the first period of its existence, when the site was a settlement, the inhabitants built half-earth dwellings. In the next periods they built surface constructions with kang (heating system). In the second period the construction of town walls made of stone blocks began and a quarterly layout of the town was formed; in the third period the defensive structures of the gates and towers were built; in the fourth period significant repairs of the walls were made; in the fifth period the walls were covered with a pebble-earth embankment. Buddhist temple complex functioned in all periods of the existence of the site.
