Research Abstract

1.The southwest area of Shikoku, containing southern part of Ehime Prefecture (Nan'yo) and western part of Kochi Prefecture (Hata), formed one cultural sphere. Its formation began in the late stage of Jomon period. After the middle stage of Yayoi period, "the southwest Shikoku type" pottery succeeding the tradition of Jomon pottery was born. Potteries of this type were really different from that of the circumference area and those characteristics were maintained until the early stage of Kofun period. Though it is generally thought that potteries including elements originated Kinai region were increasing gradually as Kofun culture was spreading, the southwest Shikoku area and Miyazaki region were not so. It was proved that these areas formed a cultural sphere of regional characteristics.
2.The route of the cultural spread from Kyushu to the east make Seto Inland Sea a trunk line. Whereas, another trunk line constantly existed between southern part of Ooita (Bungo), Kyushu and Nankai (Koc … More hi). That key station was southwest Shikoku and Uwa area of Nan'yo especially played the role of the window on Shikoku side. Uwa also maintained the relations to Kyushu and to Nankai closely. This route was developed m the period between the latter half of the Late Jomon stage and the early stage of Yayoi period, when rice agriculture was introduced to this area. Then, the route lasted constantly as a main traffic way until the Kofun period beginning. Weapon shaped bronze implements originated in Kyushu passed through not in Setouchi route, but in this route to Nankai after latter half of the late stage of Yayoi period. Also iron materials were carried fundamentally on this route.
3.The route between the central part of Ehime and south part of Miyazaki was also existed. Most of concave line marked potteries discovered in Miyazaki and Kagoshima were made in the central part of Ehime. Stone reaping knives in square shaped found frequently in Miyazaki were supposed to be originated m Ehime. Whereas, petal shaped dwelling pits and earthen jars were introduced from Miyazaki to Ehime. It was confirmed that interchange of both directions was carried out between two areas. Such interchage is observed in the middle stage of Kofun period, too. Sueki potteries produced at Ichiba-Minamigumi kiln in Ehime were distributed intensively in Miyazaki. It was left as a subject how southwest Shikoku involved to that route. Less
