Tabata Site (田端遺跡, Tabata iseki) is a Jōmon period archaeological site with the remains of a stone circle in what is now the city of Machida, Tokyo, Japan. The site was designated a Prefectural Historic Site in 1971, with the area under protection extended in 2007.[1]

Overview

The site was discovered during agricultural work in 1968, with the stone circle identified during the second phase of survey and excavation.[1] The site is understood to have changed in function over time, from a Middle Jōmon settlement, through a Late Jōmon burial site, with some thirty graves, to a worship site centred on the stone circle.[1][2][3] The last measures some 7 metres (23 ft) north to south by 9 metres (30 ft) east to west;[1] it has since been reburied and is presented through a reconstruction.[1][2]
