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 are collected at this site in 1994. It is notable that this collection contains hasō, a type of sue ware, filled with black material. Analyzed by Fujine et al. (this volume), it is revealed that the material is lacquer. This pottery belongs to the beginning of the 7th century, which is supported by the 14C dating. There are some Late Kofun sites that are engaged in the sue ware production and metallurgy, such as the Yamanakaike minami (2) and the Maechōja. Lacquer production and craft may be understood within the context of the trend of craft production in this period.
