The Sannai-Maruyama Site in Aomori, Japan, is one of the most significant archaeological sites from the Jomon period, dating back approximately 5,900 to 4,200 years ago. Discovered in 1992, the site spans over 40 hectares and offers a glimpse into the prehistoric lifestyle of the Jomon people. Excavations have revealed well-preserved remains of pit dwellings, longhouses, storage pits, and even large wooden structures that suggest complex social organization and advanced construction techniques for the time. Artifacts such as pottery, stone tools, and jewelry provide valuable insights into the daily life, rituals, and dietary practices of the Jomon people.
