Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project is an archaeological study of disaster effects and trade history in early modern-era Asia. Excavations were carried out in the Yasura village site, located in the Northern part of Ishigaki Island. This village was destroyed by tsunami in the 18th century. This study led us to believe the site contains evidence of human activities resulting from the tsunami disaster in the 18th century and village reconstruction efforts during the 19th century. And we have researched pig breeding sites in Ryukyu, Amami and Jeju Island (South Korea) and could not find evidence of pig breeding technology transfer in the Asian Island area, but a comparative study led us to believe that the pig breeding systems utilized compost production and waste treatment techniques which originated outside the local area, both of which disappeared simultaneously during the 1970s.
