Kiln remains - Kamaato

Japanese: 窯跡 - かまあと

In archaeology, this refers to a place where earthenware, roof tiles, etc. are fired. The kilns that fired Jomon earthenware, Yayoi earthenware, and Hajiki ware (Hajiki) are unknown, but kilns that fired Sue ware, roof tiles, and ceramics are relatively well known. Sue ware and roof tiles were generally fired in a pit kiln, where a tunnel-like hole was dug into a slope and a fire was run through it. Roof tiles were also fired in so-called flat kilns, where a hole was dug in a flat area, a ridged path for the fire to pass through was made at the bottom, and the roof tiles were placed on top of that. In the early modern period, kilns for firing ceramics were built above ground, and stepped multi-chambered climbing kilns with a stepped bottom were used.

考古学の分野で，土器，瓦などを焼いたところをいう。縄文土器，弥生土器，土師器 (はじき) などを焼いた窯はわかっていないが，須恵器，瓦，陶磁器などを焼いた窯は比較的明らかにされている。須恵器，瓦などは，斜面にトンネル状に傾斜をもった穴をあけ，そこに火を通して焼いた窖窯 (あながま) が一般的であり，瓦はまた，平らな場所に穴をあけ，その底にうね状に火の通る道をつけ，その上に瓦を置く，いわゆる平窯でも焼かれた。近世になると，陶磁器を焼く窯は地上に造られ，底面も階段状になった階段状連房式登り窯が使われた。
