| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Jomon period, with its hunter-gatherer society, and the Yayoi period, with its rice paddy farming, have generally been treated in contrasting terms. In this research project, bone and antler implements, which are organically related to hunting, fishing, and other subsistence activities, were examined equally in both periods, and the transition from the Jomon to the Yayoi period was reexamined. The overwhelming majority of studies on bone and antler implements have focused on fishing tools, and comprehensive studies focusing mainly on accessories and ritual equipments are rare. The results of this analysis show that the transition from the Jomon to the Yayoi period was not a break in the traditions that had existed since the Jomon period, but that values based on hunting and fishing continued to function in the Yayoi period, as evidenced by the appearance of new types of vessels that indicated a new social framework.

今回の課題では、考古資料としても包括的に取り上げられる機会が稀な資料群について取り上げたという基本的な点において、型式学などを基にした従来の考古学研究にはまだ進めなくてはならない分野が多くあることを示すことができた。
また、今回の分析結果を見ると、先史時代の様相を、均一化・単純化してまとめることは難しいことが分かる。「歴史は時代を見る鏡」と言われるように、社会の多様化が尊重される現代である。人間社会の理解において、一般概念を広く適用するのではなく、地域・時期に即した理解が特に必要であることを、本課題では示すことができたもの考えている。
