Observed large scatters in abundances of neutron-capture elements in metal-poor stars may suggest incomplete mixing of the interstellar medium at the beginning of the Galaxy. Comparing predictions by an inhomogeneous chemical evolution model and new observational results with Subaru HDS, we attempt to constrain the origins of r-process elements.
