Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Okinawa, the bones of boars excavated from sites such as Agari-Mura Site were used to select pigs for analysis of their morphological characteristics. In addition, AMS dating was carried out on the bones. Although the details are still limited to a few sites on the main island of Okinawa, as a result, it was found that most of the boars excavated during the medieval and early modern period were pigs, including several types of pigs, and that a large number of pigs had already been introduced from China at the end of the initial Jomon period.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

沖縄では現在もブタがさかんに利用されるが、ブタ飼育・利用の変遷の歴史はこれまで具体的にはほとんどわかっていなかった。特に、ブタがいつから沖縄に持ち込まれたのかは大きな問題であった。これについて、縄文時代早期の終わり頃という古い時期にはすでに中国から大量にブタが持ち込まれていたことを明らかにできた。また、中世~近世についても、遺跡から出土する(利用された)骨が狩猟されたイノシシなのか飼育されたブタなのかが問題であったが、都市部で利用されたのはほとんどがブタであることも明らかにできた。
