【Feature Exhibition 4】Compilation of Fukuoka’s Excavation Research No.0 Apr. 14, 2020 (Tue) ~ Jun. 14. 2020(Sun)




Fukuoka city has more than 1000 ruins and the number of excavation researches has greatly increased as the city gets more and more urbanized. Excavation research made a drastic improvement in the past 50 years after the city has established a system to protect cultural assets. Some of the discoveries made through those research projects in Fukuoka were significant not only for Fukuoka but also for the nation of Japan and for the whole world.

“Compilation of Fukuoka’s Excavation Research” is a series of exhibitions. In the past 10 exhibitions of this series, we introduced a part of research projects and the latest findings.
In this exhibition, however, we will introduce the very beginning of the archaeological study.

Today’s archaeological study stems from the archaeological initiatives that emerged in the medieval to the modern period. People who lived in the period found historical articles and relics by chance and discovered some historical facts such as the nature of the ruins and local history through studying those objects. It was when relics and ruins started to gather more attention from the society and that triggered archaeological excavation research to start. This exhibition mainly introduces such a period, which was the dawn of archaeological study.
