| Research Abstract |
With the purpose of revealing the appearance process of ancient tombs in the southern peripheral areas of tomb distribution, the excavation research was given to the two ancient tombs : (1)Aoki ancient tombs No.1 in Miyazaki-city, and (2)Saitobaru ancient tombs No.81 in Saito-city. The scale of the Aoki tomb was as follows : the length : 52m, the diameter of the round portion : 35〜38m, the height of this portion : 4.5m, the length of the square portion : 17m, the height of this portion : 1.7m〜2m, the width of the front part of the square portion : about 20m. One of the largest wooden burial chamber, in Japan was found in the round portion. The small size hollowed-out wooden coffin was found in the wooden burial chamber. In addition a part of the excavated tomb passage (16m) was found in the square and flat part of the tomb. Saitobaru ancient tombs No.81 has the same proportion of that of Makimuku-isizuka mound. The round portion has two steps and the moats around the tomb joined at the corner of square portion. The projected part, which was connected with the back part of the round portion of the tomb, was built at the same time when the base part of the round portion of the tomb was built. And the upper part of the projected part was all surrounded by the stones. Four subsidiary tombs were found in the surface of the projected part, in the waist of a keyhole-shaped mounded tomb, and in the slope of burial mound of the round portion. It can be guessed that this tomb was built in the latter half of the 3^<rd> century. The following was the result of this research : (1)the keyhole tombs appeared in the 3^<rd> century in the southern Kyushu ; (2)the variety of the shapes and the building ways of the keyhole tombs ; and (3)the variety of the burial facilities.
