Fudodo ruins

Japanese: 不動堂遺跡 - ふどうどういせき
Fudodo ruins

This is a Middle Jomon period ruin located at the end of an uplifted alluvial fan on the right bank of the Kurobe River in Fudodo, Asahi-cho, Shimoniikawa-gun, Toyama Prefecture. Excavations in 1973 (Showa 48) uncovered the remains of a dwelling with an oval plan measuring 17 meters in length and 8 meters in width. With a total floor area of ​​115 square meters, it was the largest pit dwelling in Japan. Two circular and two square stone hearths were set along the long axis, and 16 pillar holes, each 1 meter in diameter and deep, were neatly dug. This huge structure is not an ordinary dwelling, but is thought to have been a meeting place for a village or several villages, and is important in considering the social structure of the Jomon period. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1974, and the huge dwelling has been restored.

富山県下新川(しもにいかわ)郡朝日町不動堂、黒部(くろべ)川右岸の隆起扇状地末端にある縄文中期の遺跡。1973年(昭和48)の発掘調査で長径17メートル、短径8メートルの長円プランをもつ住居跡が発見された。総床面積は115平方メートル、日本最大の竪穴(たてあな)住居跡であった。長軸線上に円形と方形の石組炉が二基ずつ設けられ、直径、深さともに1メートルの柱穴が16個、整然と掘られている。この巨大遺構は、通常の住居ではなく、集落あるいは数集落の集会場と考えられ、縄文時代の社会構造を考えるうえで重要なものである。74年国史跡に指定され、巨大住居が復原されている。
