| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, integrating ceramic use-wear analysis, experimental coking, ethnic survey and lipid analysis, considered about functions of pottery in Erlitou culture in China. As a result, it was clarified that “Shenfuguan（深腹罐）” which was the main pottery at Elitou culture was used as a steamer. On the other hand, “Yuanfuguan（円腹罐）” was used for boiling. In addition, based on the capacity of pottery, it was concluded that “Shenfuguan” was used for staple food cooking and “Yuanfuguan” was used for sidedish cooking.
Based on the ratio of carbonized grains, it is clear that staple food in Erlitou culture was foxtail millet. According to Ethnic survey, it is thought that the cooking method of staple food was “boiled steamed” cooking of foxtail millet.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまでの中国考古学における土器研究は、その大部分が年代や地域性を決定するための研究であった。しかし、本研究では土器使用痕分析や民族調査、理化学分析を駆使し、土器の本質的な機能と関わるその用途について明らかにした。それにより、これまで等閑視されてきた中国初期王朝時代の一般の人々の土器利用や調理に関する具体的な生活像を復元することに成功した。
本研究の成果により、これまでの政治史的解釈に偏った初期王朝時代研究に、「民衆史」という新たな視点と解釈の厚みをもたらすことができた。
