3D model of the relationship between the estimated interface between the collapsed layer and the sloping shell layer and the Kasori EII new stage pottery
The Kasori EII type new stage is the final stage of pottery dumping in the shell layer on the northern slope of the Ariyoshi Kita Shell Mound. It also reduces the number of discards.
3D model of the relationship between the estimated interface between the collapsed layer and the sloping shell layer and the Kasori EII middle stage pottery
In the Ariyoshi Kita Shell Mound North Slope Shell Layer, the amount of pottery discarded increases sharply in the middle stage of the Kasori EII type. Most of them are distributed continuously from the gully valley steep slope to the gully transport sedimentary layer. The distribution principle of the shell layer and the pottery is different.
3D model of the relationship between the estimated interface between the collapsed layer and the sloped shell layer and the Nakabyo pottery
Compared to the pottery of the early period and the Atamadai type, the Nakabyo type pottery is characterized by the fact that some of it was unearthed from the collapsed layer. Combined with those excavated from the slope shell layer, it accounts for 36% of the total. The Nakabyo type pottery seems to be the key in considering the relationship between the collapsed layer and the sloped shell layer.
