Kanzaki Site, Archaeological site in Ayase, Japan

The Kanzaki Site contains an oval moated settlement from the Yayoi period, with a moat measuring 1.8 meters in width and depth.

Discovered in 1987 during a city survey, the site revealed pottery fragments and settlement traces from the second century AD in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Excavated pottery at the site demonstrates migration patterns from the western Tokai region, particularly the Tenryu River valley area.

The Ayase Kanzaki Site Archaeological Museum displays numerous artifacts from the excavation and provides educational resources about the settlement.

Less than ten percent of this National Historic Site has undergone excavation, with the surrounding area maintaining its original undeveloped state.

Location: Ayase
