The Araya site is located at Araya, Kawaguchi-machi, Kita-Uonumagun (County, ) Niigata Prefecture. The excavation was carried out by the auther from the 29th of April, 1958, to the 5th of May. Numerous stone artifacts manufactured from hard-shale were collected from the yellowish loamy sand layer below the surface soil. A total of 2187 artifacts include: 676 microblades; 2 blades; 1012 burin-spalls; 4 end-blades; 6 choppers; 2 perforators; 5 points; 401 gravers; 11 scrapers; 1 flake-core; 24 keel-shaped micro-cores; and 45 utilised flakes.
The Araya industry may be attributed to the latest stage of the Pre-Pottery Age in Japan. It should be noted that 401 specialized gravers were found in association with 676 microblades at this site. The distribution of the Araya-type graver is limited to the northeastern part of Honshu and Hokkaido island.
