The Atta Shell Midden was recognized in 1958 when the Afuso Elementary School was expanding its playground. The midden occurs in a small sand-dune on the coast facing the East China Sea and yielded the artifacts which may be classed as those of the Later period in the Shell Midden Age of the Ryukyu Islands. Excavation was done in the winter of 1960. Bone tools were not obtained. Of the stone tools, only a few kinds were identified. Since they were all fragments, the reconstruction of their original forms in drawing is difficult. Shell artifacts were divided into two categories', ornamental and utilitarian. The net-sinkers made of Tridacna are most numerous among the shell artifacts. The most important shell artifacts, however, are carved plaques (Fig. 4, Plate 11) made of cone shells. This type was abundantly found in the Hirota site of Tane Island of Kyusyu, where they were associated with burials and accompanied by the Yayoi type of pottery, classed as belonging to the Middle period. However, in Atta, the specimen occurred alone and no burials were encountered. As to pottery, three forms of tsubo, kame, and hachi were secured, of which the kame type takes the greater part. Both tsubo and hachi vessels were uncommon. Although seven varieties of designs were observed, their occurrence was less than two percent. That the trend for lack of decoration in the pottery vessel is conspicuous may suggest a recent date for the site, that is, the close of the Later period in the Shell Midden Age.
