| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the prehistory of the Japan period (Paleolithic, Jomon, and Yayoi periods) to ancient times (Kofun, Nara, Heian periods), the Middle Ages, the early modern period, and the present day, the formation history of amber culture such as amber production techniques, forms, distribution, distribution, and regionality has been clarified.
The amber culture has different forms and contents of amber in prehistoric times and ancient times, and chemical analysis of amber has revealed that prehistory used amber from Hokkaido, Kuji, and Choshi, and used amber from Kuji in ancient times. Especially in ancient times, the Yamato kingship and the Yamato imperial court developed amber producing areas politically and centrally cultivated amber balls, and gave amber to local wealthy families and amber culture flourished, but after the Heian period, civilized glass balls became widespread and it was found that they declined rapidly.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
（学術的意義）日本の琥珀玉文化の形成史はこれまで体系的に研究されたことが無く、先史、古代、近世、現代まで時系列により琥珀玉の出土地名表や制作技術、形態、流通・分布および琥珀玉の原材料である琥珀と琥珀産地などを学術的に明らかにすることができ、琥珀玉文化の今後の研究の進展に寄与できる。
（社会的意義）世界史的に琥珀玉文化は中世の欧州バルト海地域が有名だが、その形成史については不明な状況にある。それに対し、日本の旧石器時代の琥珀玉は世界最古であり、主に６～８世紀の古代の琥珀玉作技術、琥珀玉の形態等を考古学的に明らかにできたことは世界の琥珀玉文化を考える上でも国際的に評価されると考える。
