Remains of ancient Korean settlement found

The remains of an ancient site believed to have been used by early settlers in Japan from the Korean Peninsula during the early Kofun period have been found in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu. The site, found in the Nishijin Machi Ruins on the grounds of a high school, is believed to have been built between the early 3rd century and the late 4th century. The arrow indicates a kitchen oven that Tadashi Nishitani, a professor of archeology at Kyushu University, says might have been very common in the Korean Peninsula, but not in Japan.

    ISHIGAKI, Japan - Photo taken on Nov. 10, 2011, shows a site around the Shirahosaonetabaru cave ruins on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan. A team of Japanese researchers led by Minoru Yoneda, an anthropologist and associate professor at the University of Tokyo's graduate school, said the same day that a human bone fragment from about 24,000 years ago was found in the cave. It would be the oldest human fragment among those identified through analysis of such remains in Japan, according to the researchers.
