Outline of Final Research Achievements

The mechanism to generate stylistic similarity of clay pots in East cape, Papua New Guinea, can be summarized as follows from the results of this research. Pottery-making technology is inherited systematically through mother and daughter relationship. In addition to this vertical transmission of technology, techniques are transmitted to members of the descent group through concentrated pottery-making by multiple potters attended at the feast or local trade, and that generates stylistic similarity. Marriage is another factor that encourages horizontal transmission of techniques. By the movement of potters triggered by marriage, techniques are transmitted to the extent equivalent to the marriage area, and the movement may also lead to the introduction of different technologies and techniques beyond the marriage area.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は、斉一性が高い土器群の生成メカニズムの解明という考古学的課題に則して、土器製作システムの技術的側面だけではなく、その背景にある親族組織や婚姻関係といった社会的要因を追究している点にある。
