On last night's NHK news and in today's JAPAN TIMES, Japanese
archaeologists announced the discovery of what is probably the oldest
structure in the world---at least 600,000 years old.  It was found
at the site of Kamitakamori in Miyage Prefecture.  Evidence for a
round structure, nearly 2 m in diameter was found with evidence for
post-holes.  Several pits were also found, and one contained stone
tools.  Dating is based on tephra layers.
