| Research Abstract |
As we know for the Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun periods, pottery traditions changed without break in each distributional area. However, they did not always cling to their own original areas but sometimes moved into neighboring or, in a few cases, far away areas and encountered the pottery tradition which had existed there. We call these phenomena "encounters among different pottery traditions" The phenomena are various ; in some cases the invading tradition drives away the indigenous one and in other cases the two traditions merge into one. Two traditions may distribute in a mosaic manner, or coexist in the common settlements. These various patterns must reflect new relations among human groups which have encountered carrying each own tradition.
In this project, experts of pottery research specializing in many periods and areas gathered and picked up many cases of "encounters among different pottery traditions". They were classified into several patterns and the relations behind each pattern were examined.
Characteristic pattern seen dominantly in each period such as Jomon or Yayoi was recognized as a reflection of respective basic social structure.
Basic pottery concepts such as Keishiki, Yoshiki, Keito, Ruikei, etc. beyond each period of the Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun were examined and put in order. Petrological and chemical researches of clay material were tried for the aim of this project. Relation between environmental changes and translocation of pottery traditions was examined also.
A public report meeting was held at The University of Tokyo on November 25^<th> and 26^<th>, 2007 and the attendants coming up to two hundreds demonstrated archaeologists' keen interest in this project. The final report on the project will be published by Doseisha in 2008 in a form of normal book found at bookstores.
