宇木汲田 |
Ukikunden is an archaeological site located near Karatsu in Kyūshū, Japan.[1] It is a transitional Jōmon-Yayoi site and one of the few Jōmon sites where grains of rice have been uncovered. As a result, some archaeologists speculate it may have been inhabited by Jōmon people rather than Yayoi people.[2] It contains a noble burial site[1] at which bodies were interred with bronzes in large urns, as is typical for Yayoi burials.[3] 63 bronze objects have been found there from the middle Yayoi period,[4] alongside jadeite magatama.[5]
The site features notable evidence of the history of agriculture in Japan,[6] and some models use the area as the origin point of Japanese agriculture.[7]
