Jōmon Archaeological Sites in Hokkaidō, Northern Tōhoku, and other regions

Jōmon Archaeological Sites in Hokkaidō, Northern Tōhoku, and other regions (北海道・北東北を中心とした縄文遺跡群) is a group of Jōmon-period archaeological sites in Hokkaidō and northern Tōhoku, Japan, that in 2009 were submitted jointly for future inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, under criteria iii and iv. While the principal focus of the serial nomination is upon fifteen sites in southern Hokkaidō, Aomori, Iwate, and Akita, other prefectures are also concerned. Currently the submission resides on the Tentative List.[1][2][3]
