| Research Abstract |
The initial purpose of the project was to collect the enough archaeological data on hoard copper coins(Bichikusen *) deposited in the medieval Japan and also on buried copper coins(Rokudosen *) used sa a grave goods during the medieval to the Edo period.
These data were then analyzed in terms of reconstructing the circulation of money from the later half of the medieval to early half of the Edo period. The result shows that the Eiraku-tuuhou(*), a Ming dynasty copper coin, playd an important role in the circulation during the later half of 16th century. And Kokanei-tuuhou(*), the first Tokugawa's official copper coin casted in the middle of the 17th century, became promptly popular in the circulation replacing old medieval copper coins which were imported from Chinese dynasties.
