Yamaki ruins

Japanese: 山木遺跡 - やまきいせき
Yamaki ruins

This is a late Yayoi period site located in Yamaki, Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is the remains of a Toro-type rice paddy field built in the back marsh of the Hora River basin, a tributary of the Kano River. Since its discovery by Kinoshita Tadashi in 1950, seven excavations by Goto Morikazu and Yahata Ichiro have revealed the existence of a ridge and waterway over 100 meters in length, as well as T-shaped and hook-shaped bends in the ridge. In addition to Yayoi pottery (Yamaki-style pottery) and stone tools, various agricultural tools, daily utensils, and building materials have also been discovered. 239 of the artifacts excavated from the site are designated as Important Tangible Folk Cultural Properties by the government as "Yamaki Site Production and Daily Life Tools" and are stored and exhibited at the Nirayama Local History Museum. It is located at the same time period as the Toro ruins and is an important ruin that gives a good indication of the state of rice fields in the eastern Tokai region during the Yayoi period, but the settlement areas have not yet been revealed and a comprehensive investigation is expected.

静岡県伊豆の国市山木に所在する弥生(やよい)後期の遺跡。狩野(かの)川支流、洞(ほら)川流域の後背湿地に営まれた登呂(とろ)型の水田遺構である。1950年(昭和25)木下忠(きのしたただし)が発見して以来、後藤守一、八幡(やはた)一郎による7回の発掘調査によって、全長100メートルを超える畦畔(けいはん)・水路の存在や、畦畔がT字状、鉤(かぎ)の手状に曲がっている部分も明らかにされている。弥生土器(山木式土器)や石器のほか、多様な農耕具、生活用具、建築用材も発見されている。遺跡からの出土品のうち239点は「山木遺跡の生産・生活用具」として国指定重要有形民俗文化財であり、韮山(にらやま)郷土資料館に保管・展示されている。登呂遺跡と時期的にも並行関係にあり、東海地方東部の弥生時代水田の状態をよく示す重要な遺跡であるが、集落部分などは明らかにされておらず全面的な調査が期待されている。
