CommentThese artifacts were excavated from a burial pit along with Kohoku C2-D type pottery from the Late Epi-Jomon period. Three types of pottery shapes were excavated: deep bowl, shallow bowl, and spouted pot. Of particular note is the deep bowl, which is colored on slender clay ridges. In addition, nine flat stone beads and a glass bead were excavated from this pit.
