50th anniversary of the excavation of the nauman elephant in the late adult of the loyalty

Original Text

It seems that a skeleton of the whole body was excavated when a fossil of the teeth of the Nauman elephant was hit 50 years ago during the construction of a farm road. I'm not sure about the events at the time of the great fever, but the fossils of the Naumann elephant have been excavated in various parts of Japan and seem to be a valuable cultural property that knows the natural environment and climate of the Paleolithic period. The Nojiri Lake Nauman Elephant Museum in Nagano Prefecture was partially renewed in the spring of 2018, and the excavation investigation that continues every other year is centered on the latest excavation of the 22nd Nojiri Lake in March last year ...

it's hard to understand.

On the way from Toyokoro Town to Erimo, there was a sign, so I turned from the national highway. When I thought there was, the parking lot was difficult to understand and I passed by. There was a small parking lot in front of this exhibit, and I passed by and turned back. It seems that there is a real thing in the Churui Nauman Memorial Hall. However, I wondered if such a Naumann elephant was old.

think of ancient times and in 1945

We recommend that you visit the former Churui Station and the Insect Nauman Elephant Memorial Hall as a set! When he was enthusiastic about holding the Osaka Expo in 1945, the former Churui Village was also crowded with excavators. The materials of that time are exhibited at the old station building and the Naumann Memorial Hall, and the state of ancient times and the excavation at that time is clearly visible. The excavation site also left the atmosphere at that time and there were no excessive facilities, making me feel very relaxed.
