Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry in Honshū

The prehistoric period in Japan called "Yayoi Jidai (jidai=peroid,age,era)", which succeeded Paleolithic and "Jōmon Jidai" respectively, is named after the place name of this area where Yayoi-styled pottery which is characteristic of this period was discovered in 1884. Now the buildings of the Faculty of Engineering of Tōkyō University stand on the excavated point, and a monumental tablet stands on the nearby roadside (the coordinates above indicates the point of this tablet).

2 of the pottery discoverers, Shōgorō TSUBOI (坪井正五郎 1863-1913, later became an anthropologist) and Mitsutarō SHIRAI (白井光太郎 1863-1932, later became a botanist) both were the student of the Faculty of Science, later argued over Yoshimi Hyakuana: SHIRAI supposed it is rock-cut-tombs and TSUBOI insisted it is cave residences of the imaginary dwarfs
'Korpokkur (コロポックル)' which appear in the aboriginal Ainu people's legend. Until TSUBOI's death in Russia, nobody else but SHIRAI could state any objections to crazy doctrine of pioneer of Japanese archaeology.
