Kusaka Shell Mound, Archaeological midden in Higashiōsaka, Japan.
The Kusaka Shell Mound contains layers of discarded shells, bones, and pottery fragments that form a substantial archaeological deposit in eastern Osaka Prefecture.
This archaeological site dates back to the Jōmon period, between 14,000 to 300 BCE, when coastal communities established permanent settlements in the region.
The excavated artifacts from Kusaka Shell Mound include fish hooks made from animal bones, tree nuts, and marine remains that indicate fishing practices.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through local transportation options in Higashiōsaka, where educational facilities display findings from excavations.
The mound reveals multiple habitation layers with non-local materials, suggesting the presence of early trade networks among distant Jōmon communities.
