The Shindate site is located at the eastern edge of the Saijo basin. Sue ware, haji ware, and some other pottery shards from later periods were collected at this site in 1994. A previous report revealed that hasō, a type of sue ware filled with lacquer belonged to the first half of the 7th century. This site contains pottery shards from later periods, such as the Ancient and Medieval periods. There are no other pottery shards which suggest lacquer production in the Late Kofun and the Ancient periods at this site. This site may have produced lacquer also in the Ancient period, as the Aki Kokubunji site, an ancient Buddhist temple, is located near the Shindate. The collector of these pottery shards assumes that this site was a sue pottery production site. As we do not have enough evidence for these scenarios, further investigation would be needed to clarify the character of this site.
