| Research Abstract |
In this study I clarified the typological status of the bronze bells and bronze halberds from the Yanagisawa site in Nagano refecture, and explored the distribution and long-distance exchange of the bronze ritual ware in the Chubu highland area. Through the analyses of the consistency and proportion of arsenic and antimony in the bronze, I demonstrated that the raw materials of copper and lead of the bronze implements had simultaneously shifted from those of Korean Peninsular to those of China in the Yayoi period, and rejected a hypothesis that the raw materials were derived from natural copper in Japan Archipelago. In addition, I tried to estimate the actual values of bronze implements in the Yayoi period referring to the bronze price in the Han Dynasty, China.
