...In the jar burial grounds of northern Kyushu, the pottery used in the tomb-front rites is buried in a hole, which is called the "ritual pit." Sacrificial rites began in the Paleolithic period (for example, the deer sacrifices of the Ahrensburg culture in Germany). However, they only became widespread after the beginning of agriculture. In Northern Europe, human sacrifices (Denmark's Bronze Age to Iron Age) and the whole body of a horse's skin placed on a pole at an angle (Denmark's Migration Period) are known. In Japan, there have been an increasing number of discoveries of what appear to be parts of the remains of sacrificial horses in holes, wells, and ditches from the Kofun period to the Heian period, and it is thought that this may be related to the rain-making rituals for Chinese gods that appear in the literature. *Some of the terminology that refers to "sacrificial rituals" is listed below.
