On both July 1st and 2nd, at the excavation site of Minato 2-chome 10 and 11, "Minato 2-chome (5th) archeological site tour-Samurai and townspeople run in the gunpowder ~ "was implemented.
（10:00～16:00）
First, the curator of the Local Tenmonkan introduced the archeological site and explained the status of the survey.
"The archeological site was reclaimed after Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo in 1590, and was called gunshot. It is said that the name comes from the fact that the shape of the landfill resembled a gun, and that there was a shooting range for the Shogunate gun immediately after the landfill.
The north side of the surveyed land is considered to be a townspeople area, and the south side is a samurai area.
In the Samurai residence area, such as the Hachisuka family of the Tokushima Domain, waterworks, wells, stone-framed sewage, garbage holes, and some ponds in gardens were excavated. In the Machiya area, remain has been excavated, including stone-framed sewage, wood-framed sewage, building and storehouses.
Above all, the stone wall, which shaped the gunshot, is a very valuable discovery because it may be an archeological site where the development of land in the early Edo period could be understood.
In the Meiji era, it became a "miscellaneous area" of Tsukiji foreign settlements, where tableware from West and beef bones that show carnivores were excavated. "
That's why.
There are also exhibits of stone walls and excavated relics.
