Ancient Yayoi period ruins discovered on Tokyo condo development site – The Mainichi

1. Unfortunately, Mitsubishi seems disinclined to preserve the ~300BC-300AD Yayoi ruins, and the condo development will likely proceed as planned without outside intervention.

   > The Chiyoda government also considers the ruins to be a significant discovery. However, preservation of the remains is unlikely, as the property is set to be backfilled after an ongoing archeological survey allowing construction to proceed. There will not even be an information session held on site.

   > Chiyoda’s government and Mitsubishi Estate did discuss retaining at least a portion of the ruins and holding an on-site information session after publicizing the excavation. However, negotiations ended after the ward could not obtain the company’s consent.
