CommentThese artifacts were excavated together from a burial pit from the second half of the Final Jomon period. The key feature of the Nusamai type of pottery is a round bottom. This type of pottery also has a decorative shape and pattern. The deep bowl and small pottery on the left are impressed with code lines, and the pottery in the center has a square vertical aspect and is decollated with several dotted lines.
