Toriuchi ruins - Toriuchi ruins

Japanese: 鳥内遺跡 - とりうちいせき

Located in Kodo, Shinyashiki, Ishikawa-machi, Ishikawa-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, this site dates from the late and final Jomon periods and the beginning of the Yayoi period. It is located on a river terrace at an altitude of about 270m near the confluence of the Abukuma River and Yashiro River. It was surveyed in 1970 as part of a land reclamation project. In the main area of the reburial graves belonging to the Yayoi period, the relationship between the pottery groups and the grave pits is unclear, but more than 20 small pit graves containing multiple pottery pieces placed upright in irregular circular grave pits have been confirmed. Of these, grave pit No. 9 contained as many as 14 pieces of pottery.
