Archaeological excavations
In 1901 the fort of Endere was excavated by Sir
Tibetans during the Tang dynasty
. However, the fort was abandoned in the ninth century when the Endere river changed its course.
Stein discovered a number of buildings devoted to
Buddhist worship including a shrine filled with textile rags and fragments of Buddhist manuscripts written in Chinese, Tibetan and Sanskrit which suggests it had drawn worshippers from far and wide.[3]
