Tokoro Research Laboratory

The Tokoro Research Laboratory is located in the town of Tokoro, Kitami, Hokkaido Prefecture. The facility is affiliated with the Faculty of Letters/Graduate School of Humanities and Sociology at the University of Tokyo. 

For over fifty years, the nationally preeminent archaeological sites of the Tokoro region have continued to be used as a base for research and education focusing on the archaeology of north-east Asia.

At present, in addition to the development of these fields of study, the facility hosts curatorial training courses lead by the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Letters, while also promoting community-based educational activities, such as public exhibitions and lectures.
