| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The paleolithic chronology in Kyushu is greatly different between its north and south. The purpose of this research is to verify this difference by examining lithic assemblages of the central Kyushu and to reconstruct the Paleolithic chronology in Kyushu. In order to solve this problem, this research was carried out by examining already-excavated artifacts and based on the newly excavated artifacts from Kawahara 6 site, Kumamoto Prefecture, western Japan.
As a result of analysis, lithic assemblages of Paleolithic in central Kyushu can be divided into 3 sub periods at lower layers and 5 sub periods at upper layers with the A-Tn volcanic ash (30,000 cal BP) layer as the key tephra. The characteristics of the lithic assemblage of Paleolithic in central Kyushu appears in degree of usage frequency of non-local stone such as obsidian. It is suggested that this change is affected by the mobile territories of human group and the residential system.
