The prehistoric site at Uzanto is situated on the terrace which is about 30 km north east of Tainan city.This site was first examined and reported by Y.SAYAMA in 1923.I had the opportunity to visit the site with the late Prof.A.MATSUMURA and other gentlemen in March 1927.
The prehistoric culture stratum of this site is exposed along the sides of narrow ditches (Fig.1.).Under the yellowish brown soil which measures about 0.1m, we can see 1m of greyish black soil which contain a large quantity of prehisroric artifacts and animal bones.
