| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, archaeological investigations have revealed the fact that other raw materials (quartz, jasper, sanukite, cinnabar, bronze. etc.) were also utilized close to sites where blacksmithing was carried out.
In summary, at villages near the places for the trading of raw materials used in the handicraft industry, it is possible to find blacksmith remains that evidence concurrent kinds of integrated ironware production. In cases where these are located in areas tied to distant lands by maritime trade, such as the coastal areas of the Sea of Japan, such kinds of blacksmith remains that result from the acquisition of scarce raw materials can be seen. This in turn led to the integration of the handicraft industry with blacksmith production playing a major role. The creation of bases for production activities was subsequently seized and controlled by the high-ranking leader class within local communities searching for resources for commerce in the late Yayoi period.
