Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, new types of "transgressive" interaction have been emerging between the production of contemporary artwork and the research on prehistoric cultures. First, some archaeologists endeavor to interpret prehistoric cultures, referring to the contemporary artworks and their production processes. Secondly, contemporary artists produce their works, inspired by prehistoric cultures. The present study consists of anthropological fieldworks, in five regions in Japan that contain archaeological sites from the Jomon period and two overseas regions (for comparison), on (A)the exhibitions held in museums/galleries that display prehistoric artifacts and contemporary artworks at the same venue, (B)their organizers and curators' intentions, and (C)the participant artists' motives. As a result, it has become evident that contemporary art/artworks/artists are emerging as prospective partners for the archaeological endeavor to explore the meaning of prehistoric cultures for today's world.
