Japanese: 里田原遺跡 - さとたばるいせき

Located in Satomen, Tabira-cho, Kitamatsuura-gun, Nagasaki Prefecture, this vast lowland archaeological site is located in a rice paddy at an altitude of 16m and dates from the end of the Late Jomon period to the beginning of the Middle Yayoi period, with the center dating back to the beginning of the Middle Yayoi period. Dolmen are scattered among the rice paddies on the site. Several excavation surveys have been carried out continuously since 1972, and a variety of remains have been found, including a water gate, a creek-like structure with bank protection facilities with log stakes and wooden stakes driven into both banks, more than 30 pit structures for storing nuts, and a post-hole building.
