Senpukuji Cave - Senpukuji Cave
Located at the entrance to the castle in Setogoshi-machi, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, this cave site dates from the early to late Jomon period. It consists of four caves opening into a sandstone cliff at an altitude of 90m. From 1970 to 1979, Sasebo City commissioned Aso Masaru to carry out eight excavation surveys, which uncovered Hajiki pottery and ceramics in the top layer, and below that were unearthed pottery with claw patterns and push-pull patterns from the late Jomon period (Kurokawa style), late period (Kanegasaki style), early period (pressed pattern pottery, streak pattern pottery), and early period with microliths. Below that, ridge pattern pottery and bean pattern pottery were found in the lowest layer.
