The Inaridai Kofun Group (稲荷台古墳群) is a Kofun cluster [ja] or a group of Kofun located in the Chiba Prefecture.

Findings

The cluster includes Inaridai Kofun No. 1 Kofun, which is the kofun the Inaridai Sword was taken from. Some of the earliest pottery in the Kantō region has been found in this Kofun, giving its name to the type.

Location

Located on the west of the Bōsō Peninsula and just east of Tokyo, Inaridai is part of a concentration of early archaeological sites, which also includes Shakujii, in Tokyo's Nerima ward among others. Northeast of these locations are the later sites, categorized as Proto-Jomon. These Proto-Jomon sites are distinguished by pottery that predominantly features fiber or cord impressions.

In the Miura Peninsula, pottery has shell marks. In the Western Kanto Plain, pottery changed from fiber marks to cord marks. Inaridai is a key site in this change.

Usage in periodization

The Kofun cluster gives its name to Inaridai pottery, the oldest pottery type in the Kantō region.

The Inaridai No. 1 Kofun and the Inaridai Kofun group are found in the Kanto loam layer. This layer has both early Jomon pottery types like Inaridai, Haijima, and Tado I and other artifacts. It is also used as a categorization for figurines. and other implements.

In the Kanto valley of Japan, the Inaridai is some of the oldest pottery found. It has a special rolling marking on it. Experts aren't sure where this marking method came from. Wu thinks it might have started as a useful feature before becoming just for decoration. The Inaridai pottery dates back to just after the start of the proto-Jomon period. This makes it important for studying early Japanese pottery.
