The Imahama A Site is located in Imahama, Hodatsushimizu Town, and consists of the remains of a settlement formed on a sandy dune, dating from the late Yayoi period to the early Kofun period (approx. 200 AD to 300 AD). Excavations have revealed structures such as pit dwellings and storage pits, from which artifacts like jars, pots, high stands, and pedestals have been unearthed.
The decorative pedestal is a special type of pottery used in rituals, designed to hold jars or pots on top. Decorative pedestals with tear-drop shapes and triangular cutouts have been discovered there.
