Usu-moshiri site

On September 14, I participated in the archaeological excavation of the Usu-moshiri site in Usu-cho, Date city, Hokkaido.

This survey is conducted by our cooperative research project of Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B). This year, we aimed to re-excavate the survey areas by Sapporo Medical University in 1980's and to survey the site distribution for confirming the whole range of the site.














Due to my stack schedule, I was able to participate in the first survey day on 14th, but Dr. Toyohiro Nishimoto (Date City Institute of Funkawan Culture) told me about the 1980's survey by Sapporo Medical University. Also, we found 1980's blue sheet from the site section, and after that some archaeological artefacts and remains were unearthed. We will continue this site survey next year as well.
