摘要

Archaeologists have recently announced the discovery of a 7-9th Century
church site in Tangchao Dun, 115 km north of Turpan, Xinjiang, China. From
the two site photos released, it is evident that the church was a rare and
perfect bema church belonging to an episcopal or archiepiscopal see of the
Church of the East in the region.
