Ancient Village or Settlement in Honshū
A ruin of ancient village in Yayoi-era. Discovered during the construction of a military factory in 1943 and practical excavation was carried out after the war. Pit houses, stilted warehouses and paddy (rice) fields were excavated. The excavation is regarded as the first achievement of Japanese modern archaeology in democratic Japan after the war, independent from Japanese imperial mythology which had prevailed over the historical study and education until then.
Toro has been most popular ancient site in Japan which is often mentioned in school textbook of Japanese history as the proof of that Yayoi-era was a historical stage based on rice cultivation (=agriculture) in contrast to the previous Jōmon-era, hunters-and-collectors stage.
