Research Abstract

This project has three study groups : (1) Prospecting techniques, (2) Asian ceramics and (3) Asian bronze objects. Each group conducted a study on a research technique as follows.
1. Prospecting techniques
Three archaeological sites in USA (Camp Mound Site in Kampsville, Illinois, Shawnee Creek Site in Eminence, Missouri and Spiro Site in Spiro, Oklahoma) were surveyed by an electro-magnetic and a ground-radar prospecting techniques. The results were analyzed and discussed at the 59th Meeting of the Society of American Archaeology held at Anaheim on April, 1995.
2. Ceramics
Many green glazes of the medieval times in Japan were analyzed by a lead-isotope ratio method. The result showed all lead used for the green glazes came from Japan, probably from the same mine. This interesting fact may indicate the green glaze was produced at one factory.
Ceramics of the 12th-16th century excavated at north and central Vietnam were also analyzed. The result showed a Vietnamese celadon porcelain has a similar value of an analytical data with that excavated at southern China. This fact indicates cultural exchange between Vietnam and China.
3. Bronze objects
Bronze objects excavated at Sanxingdui, China, were studied by a lead-isotope ratio method. The ratio were unusually low and corresponded to that of bronze objects excavated at the Xingan Dayangzhou tomb. The fact is very important for the historical study of the early China.
