Kushida Shin Ruins

Japanese: 串田新遺跡 - くしだしんいせき

<br /> The remains of a Jomon period settlement in Kushidashin, Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture. It is located on an isolated hill commonly known as Osawayama, on the eastern edge of the Tonami Plain. This site was excavated in 1949 (Showa 24), and a major group of pottery from among the artifacts excavated at that time was selected as a type of pottery from the latter part of the middle Jomon period in the Hokuriku region, and was designated as a type called "Kushidashinshiki". Subsequently, excavations were carried out in 1971 (Showa 46) and the following year, and as a result, the remains of pit dwellings and stone hearths were discovered, and it became clear that this was the remains of a large-scale settlement mainly from the latter part of the middle Jomon period, so it was designated as a national historic site in 1976 (Showa 51). There are two circular burial mounds within the designated area, and at one end of the hill sits Kushida Shrine, a shrine listed in the Shikinai (Japanese Imperial Statue of Liberal Democratic Party of Japan), making it an important site for studying the Jomon period in the Hokuriku region. About 20 minutes by car from Takaoka Station on the JR Hokuriku Main Line and other lines.

富山県射水(いみず)市串田新にある縄文時代の集落跡。砺波(となみ)平野の東縁、通称大沢山と呼ばれる独立丘陵上に営まれている。この遺跡は1949年（昭和24）に発掘調査され、その時の出土遺物のうち、主要な一群の土器が北陸地方における縄文時代中期後葉の標式土器としてとり上げられ、「串田新式」の名で型式設定された。その後、1971年（昭和46）とその翌年にわたり発掘調査が実施された結果、竪穴(たてあな)住居跡・石組み炉跡などが検出され、縄文時代中期後半を中心とする大規模な集落跡であることが明らかになったことから、1976年（昭和51）に国の史跡に指定された。指定範囲内には円墳2基があり、同丘陵の一端には、式内社である櫛田神社が鎮座し、北陸地方の縄文時代を研究するうえで重要な遺跡である。JR北陸本線ほか高岡駅から車で約20分。
