Higashi Nara, Archaeological site in Ibaraki, Japan

The excavation area of Higashi Nara extends 1.4 kilometers from north to south and 1 kilometer from east to west on elevated terrain near Senri Hills.

The site revealed pottery decorated with images found on bronze bells, indicating the presence of sophisticated artistic practices and ceremonial activities during the Yayoi period.
