The Yamaga Shell Midden contains accumulations of mollusk shells, fish bones, and pottery fragments along the coastal area of Ashiya, Fukuoka Prefecture.

The archaeological site dates back approximately 3,000 years, providing evidence of continuous human habitation and fishing activities during the Jomon period.

The midden reveals information about dietary patterns and fishing practices of ancient coastal communities through the analysis of marine resource remains.

Visitors can access educational displays and information panels that explain the archaeological significance of the shell mound and its excavated artifacts.

The preservation of organic materials within the calcium-rich shell deposits allows researchers to conduct precise dating and environmental reconstruction studies.
