| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to reconstruct processing techniques of wild plant foods at the Jomon sites in northern Japan by examining residues of starch granules extracted from stone tools and pottery vessels. As the result of this study, three points will be shown.
(1)Comparison of archaeological starch from stone tools and pottery vessels with macrobotanical remains might explore plant resources for food and morphometric patterns of processed plants. (2)Correctly identification of starch granules of processed plants from contaminated materials within the archaeological context were examined. (3)Different lines of degradation between cooked/heated by pottery and processed by stone tools might clearly be resolved.
