    As compared with the remarkable progress of the study of the pre-ceramic culture, the knowledge of Pleistocene man in Japan has been deficient. This may be explained by the fact that most of the pre-ceramic sites so far discovered are open-sites in the loam, which are not suitable for preservation of skeletal remains, and that most of skeletal remains of Pleistocene man, as were found at the sites of Ushikawa, Mikkabi and Kuzuu, are mere fragments occurring in the deposits in the limestone fissures, having been transported and laid by water. The site of Nekata, where the Hamakita man was found, is one of such fissure deposts.
    The site of the Nekata limestone quarry (Maruhon Co.) at Hamakita is located 16km. north-northeast of Hamamatsu City, Central Japan, and 22km. away from the Pacific Coast (Fig. I-1). The site is situated on the southern border of hills sloping down to a plane which is cultivated into rice field (Figs. I-2 and I-11). The quarry is working to Palaeozoic limestone having caves and fissures which are filled with fossiliferous Pleistocene deposits. Plans of the quarry in which the site is located are shown in Figs. I-3-5 and its birdseyeview in Fig. I-12.
    The present paper deals with the result of the surveys and excavations of the site performed between 1960 and 1963. In the course of five surveys carried out between 1960 and 1962, several fragments of human bone were obtained with many mammalian fossils as follows (cf. Figs. I-3-5): skull, hip bone and ulna at Locality C ; humerus and clavicle at Locality D ; tibia at Locality B ; Lower molar at Locality D. From June to August, 1962, excavation was made in the Main Cave (Areas I, II and III in Fig. I-5) at the site, for the purpose of obtaining mammalian fossils as many as possible and clarifying the situation of the Pleistocene deposits so as to determine the geologic age of the site (Figs. I-8 and I-9). In June, 1963, excavation was made at another cave (Area IV in Fig. I-4) for the same purpose.

    Human Skeletal remains were found in the deposits of the cavelike fissure (Main Cave in Chapts. I and II) at the site of the Nekata limestone quarry at Hamakita between 1960 and 1962.

    The fossil human bones were found in the deposits filling up a cave opened in the Palaeozoic limestone lens at the Maruhon limestone quarry. At this site, two caves were excavated for scientific investigation. The main cave is a northnortheastery trending narrow cave about 20m long (areas I-III of Fig. I-4), and the other is a smaller cave (area IV of Fig. I-4) having an elliptical profile, about 2m in longer diameter. The human bones were found in the main cave. The longitudinal vertical section of this cave is shown in Fig. III-2. The cave opens probably at its western end.

    The human bones discovered in Gansuiji formation comprise seven pieces; skull, clavicle, humerus, ulna, ilium, lower third molar and tibia. The horizon and location of the skull and the ilium were confirmed by the present writer immediately after the excavation. As to the molar, its horizon and location have been ascertained later, on the basis of the information from the person who excavated it. These specimens are supposed to have been contained in a horizon corresponding to, or a somewhat older than, the Shell bed which rests on the Felis bed. The horizon of the clavicle, humerus and ulna has not been confirmed yet, but the writer thinks it is the same as the above-mentioned horizon. These six bones are the ones described as Homo sp. A (human bone A by TANABE, and upper layer bones by SUZUKI) in the Homo bed.
    The horizon of the last specimen, tibia, was questionable. However, it has been concluded that the specimen is older than the other bones and occurred in the Felis bed, judging from the fluorine content and the condition of fossilization, as well as from the circumstances at the time of the excavation as informed by the excavator. This is the specimen described as Homo sp. B (human bone B by TANABE, and lower layer bone by SUZUKI).
    Thus, the writer thinks that the human bones excavated from the Gansuiji formation were contained in two different horizons.

    The fossil fauna in the Gansuiji formation resembles in composition that of the Upper Kuzuuan formation and the Tadaki formation of the late Pleistocene, and seems to be contemporaneous with the latter. This fauna comprises three horizons, Pices bed, Felis & Macaca bed and Homo or Shell bed, in ascending order. The constituent species are shown in Tab. V-1.

    The fluorine dating method was applied to the human bones found at the Nekata site, Hamakita city, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The bones, divided geologically into two groups, A and B, were compared with the pilot series consisting of two groups of animal bones A and B, excavated from different layers of the same site. From the result of analysis (Table VI-1) it was concluded that animal bone A was quite significantly newer than B, and human bone B was of almost the same geological age as animal B, and human bone A was rather close to animal A.
    The fluorine content of the Hamakita bones was compared with that of the bones from neighbouring sites (TANABE, 1962), (Fig. VI-1).
