Research Abstract

The Kuril Islands provide uniquely laboratory-like conditions for the following research concern. In the past 4,000-years three distinct subsistence cultures successively inhabited and abandoned the Kuril Islands. Colonies of industrialized nations have occupied the region. Taken together these occupations represent a trajectory of growing technological capacity, organizational complexity, and integration of social, economic and political networks providing a framework for building up to contemporary complexities. The author also assume that the smaller, more isolated, higher latitude (central and northern) island would have been less attractive for sustained settlement in the early and mid-Holocene, but we also have reason to believe that sites earlier than 2500 B.P. remain to be found there.
Additionally, previous research on prehistoric maritime cultures of the north Pacific has tended to focus primarily on questions of ecology and adaptation. On the Asian side of the Pacific, it has been accepted for some time that state societies probably had a significant influence on coastal foragers and this is seen as a major difference between Northeast Asian and North American maritime cultures. This project research takes this concern with adaptation to a harsh environment in a sub-Arctic zone and settlement systems as a breakthrough but attempts to place Kuril Ainu adaptations within the political economy of Northeast Asia since the medieval times. It also contributes to the understanding of interactions between the insular and remote Kuril Ainu and the East Asian World System.
