Sannodai ruins - Sannodai ruins

Japanese: 三殿台遺跡 - さんとのだいいせき

Located in Okamura-cho, Isogo-ku, Yokohama, this is the remains of a settlement on a plateau from the Jomon to Kofun periods. In 1959-61, the entire plateau was excavated over an area of approximately 10,000 m2, and eight Jomon period pit dwellings, 151 Yayoi period pit dwellings, 43 Kofun period pit dwellings, and 51 pit dwellings of unknown date were discovered stacked one on top of the other. Of these, eight pit dwellings from the Miyanodai period in the latter half of the middle Yayoi period had been burned down in a fire and were excavated in an abandoned state. All of these eight pit dwellings have a square plan with rounded corners, a side of 6 to 7 meters, and an area of about 40 m2, but only one dwelling has the characteristics of a main house measuring over 100 m2, and it was discovered that these eight dwellings were a village at one time during the middle Yayoi period.

横浜市磯子区岡村町にあり，縄文時代から古墳時代にかけての台地上の集落遺跡。1959‐61年に台地上全面が約1万m2にわたって発掘され，縄文時代8戸，弥生時代151戸，古墳時代43戸，時期不明51戸の竪穴住居が重なり合って発見された。なかでも弥生時代中期後半の宮ノ台式期の住居は，8戸が火災で類焼しており，廃棄された状態で発掘された。この8戸の竪穴は，どれも隅丸方形の平面をもち，1辺が6～7mで40m2前後の広さであるが，たった1戸のみ100m2を超える母屋のような性格をもつ住居があって，このような8戸が弥生中期の一時期の村落であったことがわかった。
