| Research Abstract |
This study tried to make clear the group structure of the Kofun Period. First, the review of the concept of the "group" in the Japanese archeology was done. Then, it was cleared that there were the gap between the concept and the image of society, which actually existed, and that the gap had inhibited the compatibility with social anthropology and ancient history. Next, it was cleared that the group structure of the former half stage of Kofun Period was the following, using the cases of Yayoi period and the Korean Kofun Period which I analyzed.
First, the persons of the same generation were buried in each tomb based on brother/sister relationship. Then, there ware some cases that persons who buried a tomb cluster had consanguinity. From these facts, when the headman/woman of the group was chosen, they were not based on an individual and a family relationship, but it might be chosen from the kin group's range. Therefore, the basic principle of the group can be thought a kin group to have a "clan" principle before the formation of the ancient Uji in the latter half of the 5th century.
