Ubayama Shell Mound, Archaeological midden in Kashiwaimachi, Japan
The Ubayama Shell Mound spans 130 meters east to west and 120 meters north to south, positioned 24 meters above current sea level.
The excavations in 1926 by Tokyo Imperial University uncovered 20 pit dwellings, revealing substantial information about settlement patterns from 5000-3000 years ago.
The midden contains shells from more than 30 types of clams and fish remains, documenting the dietary preferences of Jomon period inhabitants.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a bus from Moto-Yawata Station to Ichikawa Higashi Koko Iriguchi stop, followed by a 20-minute walk.
Archaeological teams discovered five sets of human remains in a single pit dwelling, including two adult males, two adult females, and one unrelated child.
