吉野ヶ里遺跡は佐賀県東部にある弥生時代の遺跡です。
弥生時代はそれまでの狩猟生活から稲作文化が芽生え、人々が定住するようになったそうです。
その時代に、吉野ヶ里の地に環濠集落が築かれ、魏志倭人伝に記された「クニ」の集落形態に発達していました。

Yoshinogari Archaeological Site is a very well-known archaeological site in the Yayoi Age (300 to 500 years B.C. - 300 years A.D.) in Japan. It is located to the east part of Saga Prefecture.

In the Yayoi Age, people lived in communities, which were protected by moats and fences against their neighbor communities.
Such community was named "Kuni" as a small nation".

Excavational investigations of Yoshinogari Archaeological Site have been conducted since 1986.

Based on the results of excavational investigations, ninety-eight houses and buildings in the Yayoi Age were rebuilt.
