Tobinodai Shell Mound, Archaeological midden in Kaijin, Japan.
The Tobinodai Shell Mound contains 25 dwellings, 400 fire pits, and 40 shell deposits from ancient settlements dating back 7,000 years.
Discovered in 1932, this archaeological site marked a milestone as the location of the first fire pit ever found in Japanese prehistoric research.
The museum exhibits 23 earthenware pieces, ancient idols, bones, and life-size models demonstrating the daily activities of Jomon period inhabitants.
The archaeological park and museum welcome visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except Mondays, with an entrance fee of 110 yen.
Two human skeletons found beneath the midden remain in an eternal embrace, their relationship and cause of death still unknown.
