Fujimura, 51, told a special investigative committee of the Japanese Archaeological Association that the ancient tool fragments he claimed to have discovered in Miyagi Prefecture - at the Zazaragi ruins in the town of Iwadeyama and at the Babadan A ruins in Furukawa — were in fact planted there, the sources said.
Among the sites where results were fabricated were ruins in Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture, believed to be the oldest cave ruins in Japan, and two sets of ruins in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture — Ogasaka and Nagaone.
Artifacts were found at the latter that led researchers to believe there was a "Chichibu man," a Japanese version of early man.
