The Center for Archaeological Operations was created in 1977,
and is concerned with the study of the archaeological heritage and
the development of techniques for the preservation of such sites and antiquities.
On the campus of Kyoto University, and in its subsidiary areas throughout the country, there are many sites of interest, including
the Kitashirakawa Jomon site, the Nogakubu Jomon site,
the Jomon cemetery at the Botanical Gardens,
the Shirakawa Kitadono site of the later Heian period,
the Ama Yayoi site situated in the Head Farmstead at Takatsuki,
the tumulus site at the Abuyama Seismological Observatory,
and Jomon and Yayoi sites at the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory.
For the study of these sites and finds, the Center accepts cooperation from related sciences:
archaeology, architecture, geography, geology, anthropology, and chemical and atomic sciences.
The Center carries out excavations, trench soundings, and other operations on these sites.
The Center for Archaeological Operation of Kyoto University was reorganized,
and Center for Cultural Heritage Studies of Kyoto University newly started, 01-April-2008.
