Karinba site

[3][4] The first known settlement of Eniwa was in the Initial Jōmon period in 7000 BCE at the Karinba site.

[5][6] The settlement received a surge of people in 2000 BCE,[7] and stayed for many years.

Many artifacts have been found, including lacquered combs, beads, earthenware, and stone accessories.

[5] Graves from the historical Satsumon culture (700–1200 CE) have been found around Eniwa, at the Moizari Kofun Site (茂漁古墳群, Moizari kofun-gun).

[5] The collection at the Eniwa City Historical Museum includes an assemblage of Jōmon-period artifacts from the Karinba site that has been designated an Important Cultural Property.
