On January 14th, 1960, the authors investigated Higashiyama protohistoric tomb, Gôdo shell-mound of Yayoi age, Gôdo-sin meisya site containing Haji, Sué and Shiraku-like potteries and Kujihama site containing Jomon, Yayoi, Haji, Sué and Shiraku-like potteries in Shinojima island, Minamichita-chô, Chitagun, Aichi prefecture. The Shiraku-like pottery including potteries with a horn-shaped leg is crudely made and shows a Haji-like quality. It is generally considered to have been a remain related to the salt production. In contrast to sites related to dwellings, many Haji-like pottery containing sites have been found to be situated at seashore. However, the Shinmeisha site should be interpreted as a dwelling on account of its situation at a height about 10 meters above the sea level. In Shinojima island only one ancient tomb has been found, while nearby Himaga and Saku islands have been known to have 24 and 32 tombs respectively. It is the authors' opinion that such unique distribution of ancient tombs in these islands may be explained by an interrelation between the islands and the main land.
