Mikohara Site Artifact: Jomon Pottery

Eighteen Jomon period sites have been found in Hakui City. There was a mountain lifestyle at the Mikohara site in the mountainous area of Goishigamine, and deer bones can be found among the large piles of freshwater clams at the Yotsuyanagi shell mound in Yotsuyanagi-machi, at the foot of the mountains. From this we understand that they lived with the blessings of nature. In addition, many trap pits used to catch wild boars and other animals have also been discovered at the Yanaida Shakode Site in the hills area of Mt. Bijo.
The Jomon people of Hakui lived in harmony with nature, including the Sea of Japan, coastal sand dunes, Ochigata lagoon, Mt. Bijo and the Mt. Goishigamine mountains. This is the same in modern-day Hakui, where there are sea and lagoon fishermen and mountain hunters, showing us that the basic backdrops of our lives date back to the Jomon Period.
