Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this archaeological study is to clarify the role of ancient Silk Road cities as a node of East-West exchanges on the Eurasian Continent, and the actual conditions of human and cultural exchanges that took place through these cities.
For this purpose, we carried out (1) excavation and survey of the Kafir-kala site in collaboration with local researchers and comparative research of excavated artifacts and remains, (2) distribution survey and satellite image analysis of urban sites scattered in the middle basin of the Zeravshan River, and (3) analysis of the location and surrounding environment of urban sites using GIS. Then, they were disseminated as the results of international joint research with local researchers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

シルクロードの成立による東西交流が活発化した背景にある人やモノの動きに着目し、サマルカンド近郊に所在するカフィル・カラ遺跡の発掘調査を中心に研究を実施した。発掘調査で明らかになった出土遺物や遺構の分析から、都市遺跡間での交流の相互作用・推移の一端を考察し、それが中央アジア史において果たした大きな役割について比較考古学的側面からの研究促進が可能となったことに、学術的・社会的な意義がある。
