| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I set up the behavioral model based on lithic reduction sequences focusing on the exploitation of obsidian sources, during the Prehistoric age in central part of Japan. I evaluated the orientation and utilization of obsidian of a certain quality.
Finally, we examined the complication process of human society focusing on the exploitation of obsidian sources.
These sources seem to have been used during the Upper Palaeolithic and Jomon periods as indicated by the tool types found in situ. The obsidian sources and archaeological sites were distributed along the Wadatoge and the Takayama volcanic rocks. The results shed new light on obsidian distribution and procurement patterns at the obsidian sources of the Kirigamine region. Our future goal is to continue to create a more complete map of obsidian sources and archaeological sites.
