Asuka-Fujiwara

Asuka-Fujiwara: Archaeological sites of Japan’s Ancient Capitals and Related Properties is a cluster of archaeological sites from in and around the late sixth- to early eighth-century capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara-kyō, Nara Prefecture, Japan. In 2007, twenty eight sites were submitted jointly for future inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the ii, iii, iv, v, and vi criteria. Currently, the submission is listed on the Tentative List.[1][2]

Since 2011, the Cultural Landscape of the Asuka Hinterland has been protected as one of the Cultural Landscapes of Japan.[3] An area of 60 ha is also protected within the Asuka Historical National Government Park.[4] Related artefacts are housed at the Asuka Historical Museum.[5]

gollark: I mostly run dubious unofficial LineageOS builds.
gollark: General-purpose user-reprogrammable computing is slowly dying out and it isn't possible to do very much about it.
gollark: Inb4 your eyes automatically filter out any content someone deems objectionable and you can't change it because something something "trusted computing".
gollark: Important internet infrastructure was designed and put into production last millennium when people assumed private networks and just ignored security concerns, and we still run it, sometimes with patches for the bigger problems which aren't actually anywhere near universally deployed.
gollark: Oh, and it's all a giant maze of interlocking abstraction layers which manage to somehow erase decades of Moore's law because someone wanted to ship an entire browser for their desktop app or something, and which nobody actually understands.
