Kotehashi Shell Mound, Archaeological shell mound in Chiba, Japan.
The Kotehashi Shell Mound contains extensive deposits of marine shells, pottery fragments, and stone tools from prehistoric coastal settlements.
Archaeological excavations at the Kotehashi Shell Mound reveal multiple occupation layers dating back to the Jomon period of Japanese prehistory.
The shell mound provides evidence of ancient fishing practices and marine resource exploitation patterns among early Japanese coastal communities.
Researchers access the site through coordinated efforts with local authorities, while artifacts are stored at nearby archaeological research facilities.
The stratified layers of shells and sediments at Kotehashi enable scientists to track environmental changes and dietary shifts over several centuries.
