| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to establish the method to analyze pots from an ecological- functional viewpoint, focusing on the balance between functional efficiency, durability and cost.
Our research method is unique in that it consists of (1)detailed observation of firing traces found in archaeological ceramics, (2)a series of field firing experiments which are designed to help interpret various patterns found in archaeological pots, and (3)systematic comparative studies of paddy-rice farmers' ethnographic field firing techniques, which enables us to demonstrate fundamental structure and variations of covered-firing techniques.
Another characteristic of the present study is a series of workshop were held in order to introduce the above research methods and know-how of firing-trace analysis to archaeologists who are interested in this kind of topics. A total of 8 workshops were held during the 2 years term. Fortunately, some archaeologists got interested in our research method, and took part in analyzing and writing reports after the workshops.
As a result of these workshop research, the following points have been demonstrated. First, concerning the inception of the covered firing from the Korean Peninsula at the beginning of Yayoi period, it became clear that the first Yayoi people in western Japan accepted the covered firing technique which was almost same as that of Korea in that relatively large amount of firewood were consumed, and the rice-straw cover was not very tight. However, in the course of the development of paddy-rice farming in western Japan, the original covered firing gradually changed into a less-fuel consuming ones with tighter coverage, showing more distinctive differences from Korean covered-firing.
