Mining site - Saikusushi

Japanese: 採掘址 - さいくつし
Mining site - Saikusushi
Ruins that retain traces of mining to obtain stone or minerals. They often contain tools and other artifacts, and are often surrounded by the remains of workshops or the residences of people involved in the mining. In Poland, flint mining sites dating back to the Late Paleolithic period are known. An investigation of a Neolithic flint mining site in Britain revealed that a shaft was dug using a cow's shoulder blade as a shovel, and the flint was heated and then peeled off with deer antlers. In Austria, a Bronze Age copper mining site with multiple tunnels several hundred meters long is known.

石材や鉱物を得るために採掘をした痕跡の残る遺跡。道具類などの遺物を包含したり,周辺に工房址やこれに携わった人びとの居住址があることが多い。ポーランドでは後期旧石器時代に遡るフリントの採掘址が知られている。またイギリスの新石器時代のフリント採掘址の調査では,牛の肩甲骨をシャベルに用いて立坑を掘り,フリントを熱してから鹿角で剝ぎとるという方法が行われたことがわかった。オーストリアでは,百数十mの坑道を複数もった青銅器時代の銅採掘址が知られている。
