Sunabara Site, Archaeological excavation site in Matsumoto, Japan
The Sunabara Site contains three pit dwellings, 71 ground pits, and one loam mound from different historical periods in central Japan.
The archaeological investigations conducted between July and August 1998 revealed settlements dating back to 11,500 years ago from the Jomon period.
The artifacts found at Sunabara include pottery, stone tools, ceramics, iron objects, and copper items that indicate complex social structures of ancient communities.
The Matsumoto City Board of Education maintains detailed documentation of the site in their Cultural Properties Survey Report number 143 from 2000.
The excavation exposed 97 medieval ground pits and a ditch, providing evidence of continuous human occupation across multiple historical periods.
