6 publishers mull changes after archaeology fraud

TOKYO, Japan - The six publishers of these high school history textbooks said Nov. 7 they are considering whether to revise passages covering Japan's earliest stoneware, following a disclosure on Nov. 5 that a leading archaeologist had fabricated his discovery of artifacts at the Kamitakamori ruins in Miyagi Prefecture. Shinichi Fujimura, 50, who served as deputy director of the Tohoku Paleolithic Institute, admitted that in late October he fabricated the finds by burying stoneware.
