Along with the results of archaeological excavations in Asuka area, we introduce the achievements in the field of scietific technic assisting the archaeological study.

During the excavation of Kegoshizuka Kofun, the researchers found an annexed burial mound with a specific stone crypt. It was named Koshitsukagomon Kofun and certain theory has it that it was the tomb of princes Ota, the daugher of Empress Saimei. Discovery of the annexes mound seems to provide another evidence to support the view that Kengoshizuka was the burial place of Empress Saimeio.

In the spring of 2011, the remote area of Asuka, including rice fields on the steep slope of Inabuchi,was designated to the first important culturai senery in Nara prefecture. We would like to explain the concept of the cultural scenery, a sort of cultural properties that is not kept in the museum exhibition rooms.
