Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project was the establishment of the basement of compositional analyses of obsidian stone tools. The major conclusions are following. First, obsidians from major localities in Japan were analyzed. But the results could not be published since Meiji University had little appreciation for it. Second, procedures of obsidian analysis using WD-XRF, ED-XRF and P-XRF were developed. A method of obsidian sourcing using compositional ratios of some elements was also developed. Third, a slab sample of obsidian from Koshidake was delivered to collaborating research institutions in japan and abroad.But the result of cross analyses could not be published since Meiji University had little appreciation for it. Forth, the developed analytical method was applied to obsidian stone tools excavated from Omegura and Smobara-Fujimicho sites.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

先史人類動態解明の鍵である黒曜石・石材の獲得行動についての研究の基礎となる黒曜石原石・石器の化学分析技術を向上させた。本研究によって、各地の収蔵施設に保管の黒曜石石器を活用した研究の可能性を示すことができた。また、黒曜石原石のクロス分析の実施によって、文化財科学分野での国際共同研究の可能性も示すことができた。
本研究課題を進めるにあたり、上長からハラスメントをうけ、大学に報告したが誠実な対応はなされず、本研究課題の完成に必要な代表研究者との雇用再契約も行われなかった。これは研究代表者がハラスメントを訴えた事に対する報復であり、人事権の濫用と考えられる。その結果、研究の重要課題が未完に終わった。
