The Mawaki Site extends across 38,000 square meters in Ishikawa Prefecture, containing numerous excavated artifacts from prehistoric settlements.
This settlement remained continuously inhabited between 6,000 and 2,300 years ago, spanning multiple phases of the Jomon period in Japanese prehistory.
The site contains a timber circle made of ten chestnut poles, along with pottery, stone tools, clay figurines, and ceremonial objects from ancient times.
