| Research Abstract |
Recently, in Japan, as many medieval and Edo-period sites were excavated, some metal artifacts which was not seen in ancient sites have been found.For example, tobacco pipes and metal ornaments of matchlock excavated in the sites play important role in the history of materials, because they are specially characterized the time in which they appeared in Japan.After excavation, however, they have been just in a storage without any analytical examination.This research has the purpose to consider the history of materials and fabricating techniques of metal artifacts through materials scientific research.The materials of metal artifacts have been developed.In the ancient time, the copper thin plate was made of just copper ; but, in Edo period, brass(Cu-Zn alloy) became very popular.As to casting alloy, bronze(Cu-Sn alloy) had been the main alloy before brass came up.Shakudo(Cu-Au alloy) was also recognized in the chains of research.Shakudo is one of the representative in traditional coloring alloys.This research can reveal that materials and techniques of metal artifacts in the medieval and Edo period were highly developed and the forerunner to the technology in Meiji period.Their basic background could promote modern industrialization.
