| Research Abstract |
Aspects in the development of literacy and literate culture in the ancient regional society were studied in relation to excavated 'token' or pottery ink slab,'ten-yoken' or dish-diverted pottery ink slab and 'bokushodoki' or pottery with ink inscriptions. Besides unused 'token', a certain number of unused 'ten-yoken' were found when examined closely. 'Token' are thought to remain unused because they were the symbol of power; while unused 'ten-yoken' of practical use are regarded as the ones honed to be used as ink slabs but stay unused. At a site where 'token' and 'ten-yoken' were excavated, 'bokushodoki' were not found in abundance, but the variety of character used is rich. On the other hand, at a site where a large amount of 'bokushodoki' was excavated, character used dose not vary widely and little 'ten-yoken' were found, but 'sumidame' or pottery palette tended to be excavated instead. This suggests the aspect in activities using character differed between those sites.
