| Research Abstract |
Based on this surveys of the Russian Far East, Strong correlation was accepted between the redidential pattern and the living or ecosystems as its background.
Putting together the entire information, it may be assumed that the settlement pattern of the Samagir people is characterized by their concentrated residential area surrounded by vast non-residential area. This settlement pattern seems to reflect the long distance between their settlements and fishing grounds or hunting fields.
The settlement pattern in the Gorin River basin shows a quite contrast to the settlement pattern in the Bikin River basin, where we reconstructed a highly sedentary settlement pattern with very short distance seasonal migration.
In this research project, we also focused on the unsurveyed areas of the previous research, that is, the area inhabited by the Nivkhs in the lowest Amur Liver, the area inhabited by the Nanai in the basin of Gorin River, a tributary of the Amur River (see Sato and Sasaki), and Sakhalin, which cormect the Japanese Archipelago and the Amur River basin. Based on these surveys of the Russian Far East region, Onuki argued about the regional characteristics of their plant and animal food resources, and showed that these characteristics are closely related to their residential pattern.
In the Bikin River basin, Russian Maritime Province, supplement investigation about the relation between hunting and residential pattern was performed. The first group researched hunting activity, other group conducted their research on dwellings and raised floor storehouses.
