| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human bones from the square-arranged burial in the Tokai region at the Latest Jomon period (Hobi shell mound) and the multiple individuals burial in the Late Jomon period in Kanto area (Gongenbara site) were observed in terms of bone taphonomy of the Jomon multiple burials, which investigates the degree of preservation, traumatic regions, and coloration etc.
The Hobi square-arranged burial consists of 13 adults and 1 subadult human bones, and the long bones and cranial bones are well preserved. The latter exhibits many traces of intentional percussion or fractures. Gongenbara burial consists of 24 adults and 3 subadult bones, many of which are worse preserved and heavily worn on their surfaces. The frequency of trauma on the bone surface is different between the two sites and the pattern of traumatic alteration is also different on the cranial bones and that on the long bone surfaces.
