About
The Karako-Kagi Site, located in Tawaramoto, Nara, Japan, is a notable archaeological site from the Yayoi period. It is characterized by its metallurgical facility, indicating advanced craft and industrial capabilities for the time. The site also provides evidence of animal husbandry practices, specifically chicken breeding, which highlights the agricultural lifestyle of its inhabitants. Unlike many contemporary sites, no rice paddy fields are associated with Karako-Kagi, suggesting a diversified subsistence strategy that may have included dry-field farming or other food production methods. The site's significance is further emphasized by its designation as a National Historic Site, and artifacts from the area are displayed in the nearby Karako-Kagi Archaeological Museum.
