The charming doll, of a kind very rarely found intact, was unearthed at the Kori ruins, the Osaka Center for Culture Heritage announced Jan. 26.
During the excavation at the Kori and Heka ruins, which started in June 2016, a team including members of the Ibaraki board of education discovered about 140 “hokei shukobo,” or rectangular burial mounds, where the doll was preserved in the soil. Read more.
