Finally, four " ring-shaped stone " and clay containers, as well as intact inverted triangle plate-shaped earth dolls, which were nicknamed " Isedo-kun " (いせどうくん). Archaeologists interpreted the unearthed cultural relics and judged that the Isedo Dai ruins belonged to the late period of the Wenwen era about 4,000 years ago. The largest ring-shaped stone C diameter was about 45 meters. According to scholars' judgment, the Jomon people brought stones to circle and arrange them in circles for 200 years, but did not arrange them in a complete circle. This shows the worldview and religious beliefs of people at that time.
