| Research Abstract |
There are a confrontation of two theorys on the origin of the Okhotsk culture. The one is that this is established by a migration from Amur Vassin area to Hokkaido through Sakhalin. This group is estimated to originate in Mokhe people in Amurland. The other is based on the view that the main part of the bearer of this culture is composed of group of the Epi-Jomon culture northern Hokkaido and they accepted thecultural influences of Amur-Sakhalin neolithic culture. This study aims to collect the evidences to make clear this problem standing on the latter point of view.
In 1994 We carried out serries of general surveys along the coast of northern Hokkaido and Island of Risiri. On the result of these we decided to do excavation at the Tanetonnai site, northwest coast of Island.
In 1995 we did excavation in three weeks at this site. As a result we obtained many good information including next facts :
There have been preserved a ruin of village here at shortest from Epi-Jomon until the former half of the Okhotsk culture and the people of this village have common cultutral traits such as to live pit-dwellings, to use pits with stone-pile for cocking and to base on sea-mammal hunting and fishing.
Of the material culture we can point out that typology of potteries show a gradual and continuous changes from Epi-Jomon to Okhotsk culture through Susuya-type.
