About 3 years ago (Late Paleolithic) Large mammals (Naumann Elephant,Bighorn deer,ElkAnd others) appeared in Yamagata. Mogami River (Magi Ruins Asahi Town, Myojinyama Ruins)Sagae City), Arakawa (Oguni Town, Arakawa Ruins), Akakawa and other major rivers and their tributariesRiver terraceFound more than 100 places above. From these sites, many hunting tools, such as the slanting point device used for the spear and the stone blade that was used as an embedded instrument by grooving tree branches and bones, were found.

Jomon PeriodMany ruins have been confirmed, but the Misakiyama Ruins (Agai-gunYusa Town), a bronze sword about 3000 years ago, which is believed to have been obtained by trading with the continent, has been unearthed.^[3].. It is one of the oldest examples of excavation in Japan. The Yayoi culture was introduced early by the shipping of the Sea of ​​Japan, but in the latter half of the Yayoi period, the Jomon culture descended south of the prefecture, and rice cultivation declined in the Mogami River basin due to the submergence of the village due to cold weather.^[4].

In Yamagata PrefectureAncient tomb cultureCame earlier than expected (the trading route on the Japan Sea side of the sea is from Itoigawa in Niigata)JadeBecause there were examples such as, it was developed from ancient times), in the Yonezawa basinYonezawaKozan KofunNanyo CityThe Gamo Tayama No. 2 to 4 mounds were built in the first half of the 4th century.

By this timeHashu KaidoIs also maintained. It is said that the prefecture name comes from Yamagata, the name of the town that means near the mountains.

There are various opinions about the timing and scale, but it is said that there was a lake called Algae Lake in the middle Mogami River (Sagae City, Tendo City, Kawakita Town, Higashine City, Murayama City). There is a tradition that it was reduced and disappeared.^[8].. It is also said to have become the etymology of "best."

Anecdotes about dialects

How to read ①

Standard languageThen, ① is read as "maruichi" and (1) is read as "parentheses", but in Yamagata, ① is read as "ichimaru" and ② is read as "nimaru", (1) is read as "ichikakko" and (2) is read as "brackets". It is common to read the numbers inside first, such as reading.Even in the same Tohoku region, it is "Maruichi" in other prefectures, and only Yamagata prefecture reads "Ichimaru".Even in schools and companies, it is so strong that it is generally read as "Ichimaru", so people who went out of the prefecture without knowing that it was Yamagata's own "dialect" took ① as a matter of course. It often happens that people from other prefectures wonder.Nowadays, it is becoming clearer to those who use standard languages, those who use dialects, and those who mix.
