Shimofuda Site, Archaeological site in Chofu, Japan
The Shimofuda Site contains remains of a late Jomon period settlement on a river terrace of the Tama River in Tokyo Metropolis.
Archaeological investigations between 1964 and 1971 revealed a pentagonal pit containing stone rods and a grave area with 600 river stones in square formation.
The excavation uncovered Jomon pottery shards, stone tools, clay ritual figurines, magatama, and a pottery earring shaped like a rose.
The archaeological findings from Shimofuda are displayed at the Chofu City Folk Museum, while the site itself forms part of a public park.
The site features a burial ground measuring eight meters on each side, constructed entirely from river stones arranged in a precise square pattern.
