エドワード・シルヴェスター・モース Edward Sylvester Morse (June 18, 1838 – December 20, 1925) was an American zoologist, archaeologist, and orientalist. He is considered the "Father of Japanese archaeology." In 1877 (year 10 of the Meiji Era), while looking out of a window on a train between Yokohama and Tokyo, Morse discovered the 大森貝塚 Ōmori shell mound, the excavation of which opened the study in archaeology and anthropology in Japan and shed much light on the material culture of prehistoric Japan. I learned recently that there was a monument to his discovery on the train platform at the JR Omori Station on the Keihin Tohoku Line (just South of Shinagawa Station). While hardly a tourist Mecca, I visited on my last visit partly because it was on a train platform and partly because I am a huge fan of Morse's collection of Japanese artifacts housed in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. E.S.モース発掘 百周年記念建立 Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Morse's discovery & excavation of the Omori Shell Mound. 日本考古学発祥の地記念碑 Birthplace of Japanese Archeology アメリカの動物学者 モース博士が1877 (明治10年)横浜より新橋 に向かう汽車の窓から大森 貝塚を発見し、これが契機 となって日本の考古学が 発達しました。このブロンズ像 は当貝塚出土の土器を 約2倍に拡大したものです。 1979年12月」 American zoologist Dr. Morse 1877 (Meiji Era year 10) on the train from Yokohama to Shimbashi caught sight of the Omori shell mound from the window of the train. The discovery of a shell midden gave rise to the excavation of the site. As a result, Japanese archeology developed. This bronze statue of earthenware excavated from the shell mound has been enlarged approximately twice. December 1979

2024.3.10初めて大森駅に降り立つと?! 駅のプラットホームには、こちらの記念碑が! 汽車の車窓から、大森駅付近で貝塚に気が付いたらしい。このあたりから東は、当時は海なんですね! 発掘調査が行われて、この調査が日本考古学の記念すべき最初だそうです。 普通にプラットホームにおり、とても驚きました。
