古墳から見つかる品

41基の新原・奴山古墳群からの出土品には、槍や鏃や矢じりなどの武器と日本より早く鉄製錬技術が発達した朝鮮半島からもたらされたとみられる鍛冶道具などが含まれています。ここで見つかった品々は、埋葬された人物の威信を示し、彼らが海を越えてアジア大陸と交流していたというさらなる証拠を提供しています。


Objects Found inside the Tumuli

The objects unearthed from the 41 Shimbaru-Nuyama tumuli (kofun) include weapons such as spears, adzes, and arrowheads, as well as blacksmithing tools, which were likely imported from the Korean Peninsula, where iron-smelting technologies had developed earlier than in Japan. The items found here indicate the prestige of the figures who were buried here and provide further evidence that these people were engaged in exchange with the Asian mainland, across the sea.
