Mitsusawa Kaizuka, Archaeological midden in Yokohama, Japan.
The excavation site stretches across Sawatari, Mitsuzawa Higashi, and Mitsuzawa Minami districts on a hill 30 meters above the Takino River.
British archaeologist Neil Gordon Munro discovered the shell mound during his visit in autumn 1905, leading to extensive excavations through 1906.
The excavated layers contained various Jomon period artifacts, including late-period pottery, stone tools, and human remains, showing early settlement patterns.
The shell deposits range from 30 to 40 centimeters in depth, with some sections reaching one meter, containing clam shells and marine species.
Findings from this site were distributed between the Tokyo National Museum and Scotland's National Museum, creating an international archaeological connection.
