Uryuudo Ruins - Uryuudo Ruins

The remains of a Yayoi period settlement in Uryuudo, Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It is located in the central lowlands of the Kawachi Plain and is buried 3 to 4 meters below the surface. Remains of early Yayoi period dwellings, rice paddies, middle Yayoi period dwellings, and a cemetery centered around a square moat tomb have been discovered. In square moat tomb No. 2, in addition to the wooden coffins of three adult burials of men and women, six pit tombs and six jar and earthenware coffin tombs were discovered, which are important for understanding the burials in the square moat tombs. Excavated remains include many pottery, stone tools, and wooden products, as well as bronze products believed to be spears, and a sandstone mold was also discovered. There were no unfinished polished stone tools such as stone knives and stone axes, or wooden agricultural tools and tools such as hoes, spades, and stone axe handles, which shows a characteristic that sets the site apart from other ruins.
