| Research Abstract |
Reconstruction of ceramic assemblage structures, ceramic composition analysis, and the analysis of lacquer-like residues on pottery were conducted in order to test the general hypothesis regarding the ritual exchange of the Early Jomon period in the Kanto to eastern Chubu regions and in the western Chubu to Kansai regions.
Reconstruction of ceramic assemblage structures resulted in the identification of three typical patterns based on the quantities of locally-made deep bowls, locally-produced copies of shallow bowls, and imported deep and shallow bowls. These patterns with approximate percentages are described as follows:
Nakagiri Uwano Pattern: 80% locally-made deep bowls; 10% locally-produced copies of shallow bowls; 10% imported shallow bowls.
Mizukumi Pattern: 70-75% locally-made deep bowls; 20-25% locally-produced copies of shallow bowls; 5% imported shallow bowls.
Ochiai Goro Pattern: 65% locally-made deep bowls; 5% locally-produced copies of shallow bowls; 15% imported shallow bowls; 5% imported deep bowls.
Ceramic composition analysis demonstrated that there is a high probability that imported shallow bowls from sites of the Mizukumi Pattern derived from a specific area. As a result, a hypothesis recognizing the existence of exchange partners can be added to the initial general hypothesis.
The analysis of lacquer-like residues showed that at sites of the Nakagiri Uwano Pattern, there is a high probability that copies of shallow bowls were produced in several areas. The general hypothesis was thus extended to propose a division of labor between primary exchange partners.
