And worried about whether the virus will spread with the grave, the official did not respond to what these human bones would do.

A person in charge at the scene said that these human bones may have died after being infected with plague at the same time. It is probably a cemetery from the end of Edo to the beginning of Meiji, because the terrain is obviously lower than the surrounding area. Most of the deceased were young people in their thirties, including many children. Some of these human bones were buried in wooden coffins or urn coffins, and some were cremated. Professor Abe qianzi, an anthropologist, found through research that nearly 30% of the deceased had different degrees of pathological changes in their hands and feet, and they might have bone tumors or syphilis.

There are many tombstones and remains in this area, and some funerary objects are unearthed together with human bones, such as jade bracelets, pipes, copper coins, clay dolls and gold nuggets.
