Kushidashin Site (串田新遺跡 Kushidashin Iseki) is an archaeological park containing the remnants of a late Jōmon period settlement and encompassing two circular Kofun period burial mounds located in what is now part of the city of Imizu, Toyama in the Hokuriku region of Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1976.[1]
Overview
The site is located on an independent hill with a height of approximately 45 meters. An excavation survey was conducted in 1949, and pottery and stoneware called "Kushida-no-eki" indicative of the latter half of the Jōmon period was excavated. The ruins included the foundations of a number of pit dwellings and a small group of kofun from a later period. Currently, it is maintained as a public park.
