Kashihara ruins

Located in Unebi-cho, Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, this settlement site dates back to the final Jomon period. It was investigated by the Kashihara Archaeological Institute in 1938 (Showa 13) in conjunction with the expansion project of the Kashihara Shrine outer gardens to commemorate the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the Imperial Jōmon period. As well as being a type site for Kashihara-type pottery, the excavation of a large amount of Obora-type pottery found in the Tohoku region provided an opportunity to consider cultural exchange over a wide area. Obora-type pottery underwent a major change in the middle of the final period (C2 _style and onwards), and it can be inferred that it was at this stage that the Yayoi culture spread to the Nara Basin.

奈良県橿原市畝傍(うねび)町にある縄文時代晩期を中心とする集落遺跡。1938年（昭和13）に皇紀2600年記念の橿原神宮外苑拡張事業に伴い橿原考古学研究所によって調査された。橿原式土器の標式遺跡であるとともに、東北地方に分布する大洞(おおぼら)式土器の多量出土は、広域の文化交流を考える契機となった。大洞式土器は晩期中葉（C₂式以降）に大きく変化しており、この段階に奈良盆地に弥生(やよい)文化が伝播(でんぱ)したことが類推できる。
