日吉台遺跡群

Hiyoshidai is an archaeological site in Yokohama where multiple ancient settlements left behind layered remains. Systematic excavations here have uncovered pottery, stone tools, and other materials preserved across different periods.

This site documents settlements from several periods of Japanese prehistory. Archaeologists have exposed different layers that show how human activity at this location changed over extended time spans.

The objects discovered here reveal how people lived and worked in ancient times. You can see their tools, pottery, and everyday items that tell stories about their daily practices and crafts.

The site features walking paths that let you move through different excavation areas. Information boards, mainly in a western exhibition area, explain the discoveries and their significance for understanding ancient lifestyles.

The location blends ongoing archaeological research with public education, so excavations happen partly in view of visitors. This living presence of research makes discoveries more immediate and tangible for those who visit.
