| Research Abstract |
We had seven projects on experimental archaeology.
1. Butchering experimentation of a Japanese Sika Cervus nippon in Kamogawa and Chikura, Chiba Prefecture, Japan
2. Woodcutting experimentation by stone axes at the Goshono Jomon archeological park in Iwate.
Experimentation using by the Sakuramachi-type stone ax.
Comparative experimentation of stone and steel axes.
3. Preliminary study for the manufacturing traces of Jomon antler artifacts: An experimental approach.
4. Use-wear analysis on replicated stone axes used in the Experimentation: examinations by high-power methods.
5. Shooting experimentation by replicated bows and arrows intended for Jomon period.
6. An experimental study of Replicating Jomon canue.
7. The experimentation of wood-burning earthenware cooking and temperature control.
Next, we studied about a history of conveyance tools during modern time by ethnoarchaeological research in the Hida gorge. The study of conveyance tools has been strangely neglected by archaeologists. this study attempt to trace a history of conveyance tools during moderntimes by ethnoarchaeological research. Imconclusion, we have reconstructed a brief history of conveyance tools in Japan.
These trial research methods will make a new horaizon and change configuration of studies prehistoric economy.
