It clearly explains the survey findings of a large-scale Edo-period cemetery discovered in the Takahashi area from the perspectives of physical anthropology and archaeology. It is a valuable opportunity to gain a deep understanding, through expert commentary, of what early modern graves excavated from the Dainichikita Site reveal about people's lives and burial practices of that time. By combining archaeological findings with physical anthropological approaches through human bone analysis, the overall picture of the site emerges with greater clarity.
