Chobonaino Site, Archaeological site in Hakodate, Japan

The Chobonaino archaeological excavation extends across a substantial area containing numerous ancient artifacts, including pottery fragments and burial sites from prehistoric times.

During agricultural work in August 1975, a local resident discovered the renowned Hollow Clay Figurine, which became the first National Treasure from Hokkaido in 2007.

The clay figurines and artifacts found at this location reveal the technical abilities and religious practices of the Late Jomon period inhabitants.

The Hakodate Jomon Culture Center displays the excavated materials from Chobonaino Site, including the Hollow Clay Figurine measuring 41.5 centimeters in height.

Scientists used CT scanning technology to study the internal structure of the Hollow Clay Figurine, revealing construction techniques from 1500-1300 BCE.
