Washinoki Site: Artifacts excavated from the Washinoki Site 1

These pottery finds are from the era when the stone circle at the Washinoki Site was constructed. Some of the patterns on the surface of the pottery are similar to those on pottery found in the northern Tohoku region. The similarity is considered closely related to the spread of stone circles in those days.
