Aidani Kumahara
Aidani Kumahara submitted by Aska : Site in Honshu Japan The site was discovered during a paddy field extension work. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village or Settlement in Honshū. A clay figure believed to be 13,000 years old and one of the oldest in the country, was found in an archaeological site in Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, the Shiga Prefectural Association for Cultural Heritage said.

The tiny figure, 3.1 centimeters in height and 14.6 grams in weight, depicts a female torso with breasts and a waistline. The figure, which was discovered at the Aidanikumahara archaeological site, is from an incipient era of the Jomon Pottery Culture, according to the association. Another female clay figure from approximately the same era was found in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, in 1996. Source, Asahi, unfortunately there is no photo and we cannot find one of the figure.
The brochure provided at the explanation session on the spot, 6th June 2010, contains some pictures of the figure.

Note: 13,000 year-old clay figure found in Japan
