Research Abstract

I elucidated the fall of communal rites with bronze ritual objects during the Yayoi period took place in parallel with the emergence and prosperity of big mound burials for chiefs and elites.
In the Yayoi period, the decline of communal rites were brought about from the growth of chiefs and elites as men of political power. At the end of Yayoi period, the political alliance was organized between powerful chiefs in western Japan, and new rite for justifying the inheritance of chiefship by new chief became to function as the false communal rites.
In the latter half of the middle Yayoi period, the fluctuation took place in the structure of pottery style of Northern Kyushu district and the elements of pottery style in eastern Kyushu, Chugoku and Shikoku districts began to flow into Northern Kyushu district. This tendency was strengthened gradually till the end of Yayoi Period. At the beginning of Kohun period, this transformation process of pottery style in Northern Kyushu district completed. This phenomenon took place in connection with the fall of communal rites with bronze ritual objects, the emergence and prosperity of big mound burials for chiefs, and atrophy of the traditional sense of value.
