Kamegaoka Site

Final Jomon settlement and cemetery (about 1000-300 BCE) on a plateau above the Iwaki river at Tsugaru, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Pit dwellings and graves held lacquerware, jade magatama beads and painted pottery. Pottery and figurines first came to light in 1622, when the daimyo Tsugaru Nobuhira built a fortification here; some was prized for the tea ceremony and reached Europe through Dutch traders at Nagasaki. The goggle-eyed shakoki-dogu found in 1887 is the emblem of Jomon Japan. National Historic Site since 1944. Coordinates: OSM 40.8844/140.3395; the English article carries none.
