Item details
Jomon-style Pottery Fossils from the Asahi Site, 3 Pieces
These items were received by the consignor from the belongings of their grandfather. They may have been preserved untouched for over 50 years. The Asahi Site is located between Nishi-ku, Nagoya City, and Kiyosu City in Aichi Prefecture. During the Taisho era, artifacts excavated through the investigations of Torii Ryuzo were preserved in research institutions and museums, with some artifacts gifted to local individuals who assisted as a token of gratitude. These items are 3 of the 32 pieces that were gifted. Formal excavation investigations began in the Showa period, but this item appears to have been discovered prior to that. Artifacts from the Asahi Site were designated as Important Cultural Properties of the nation in 2012.
