Research Abstract

This project aimed to analyze the social transition during the Yuryakucho era (later 5^<th> century A.D.), which is thought to be an great epoch toward the formation of archaic state in central Japanese archipelago.
To archive the goal, the investigators examined the distribution and transition of keyhole shaped burial mounds, focusing on the series of them which are thought to represent local chiefly lineages in Kibi district.
The investigators revealed that, locul chiefly lineages included keyhole shaped tumulus appear in many areas during Yuryakucho era, while the majestic burial mounds as Tsukuriyama (Zozan) and Tsukuriyama (Sakuzan) disappeared in central area. This indicates that each local community began to invest their labor for chiefly burials. The investigator declares that it is not interpreted to be decline of communities or chiefs in Kibi district but to be the change in meaning of burial mounds in society during this period.
To confirm this, the investigators excavated Tenguyama tumulus in Mabi town to find a lot of articles useful for dating of this tomb, and to reveal that the change includes the transition of the type of burial chamber with the effects from Korean peninsular.
As a result, the investigator concludes that the epoch of the Yuryakucho era should to be regarded as the long-term socio-cultural change rather than drastic political change in the view of archaeological research.
