Excerpt from The Ancient Burial Mounds of Japan H. Von Siebold, in his Notes of Japanese Archaeology, writes that the earliest mode of burial in Japan was under a mound or tumulus. About 400 to 500 years after the death of the first Emperor, stone coffins, made of several stone plates, or more rarely of a single block, were introduced. These measured 6 to 12 feet by 3 to 5 feet and the sides were 3 to 6 inches thick. There were handles on the sides of the cover. I have not seen any coffins made of stone plates such as Von Siebold describes, but coffins hewn out of solid blocks of stone are not uncommon.

Excerpt from The Ancient Pit-Dwellers of Yezo, Japan The writer has briefly summarized the evidence of Aino occupancy of Japan in the paper following this one. The character of the pot tery found in the shell-heaps is entirely different from any pottery made by the ancient Japanese. The material is the same as that of the Japanese sepulchral pottery, but the shapes of the vessels are not the same and the decoration upon them is absolutely distinctive. Strange as'it may seem, the pottery of the shell-heaps is far more elab oratel y decorated than any ancient pottery of Japanese origin.
