| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The transition from the Yayoi period to the Kofun period witnessed a remarkable expansion in the scope and scale of interregional exchanges.In eastern Japan, it has been hypothesized that one of the factors contributing to the movement of pottery from other regions and the emergence of new tomb types was the migration of groups from the west.
To investigate this, our study focused on the Kanto region and conducted a comprehensive analysis of archaeological evidence related to 1.pottery movement, 2.tomb types, 3.dwelling structures, and 4.major food.
As a result of the analysis, there are cases where new tomb types and new housing styles are observed in association with the movement of pottery from other regions.Therefore, it is highly probable that this factor can be attributed to the migration of groups to the Kanto region.

定型化した前方後円墳の広域的な拡散を支えた交流関係が、古墳時代の開始に向かってどのように形成されたかという問題は、日本歴史上の重要な問いである。従来は、弥生時代から古墳時代への移行期に製作地から遠く離れて出土する外来系土器や、地域を超えて共有される墳墓といった個別要素の検討に基づいてこの問題は議論されてきた。本研究では、集団の特徴を表す複数の考古事象を対象とした多角的な検討に取り組んだだけでなく、当該期における東日本への移住行為の妥当性を検証する、という演繹的な検討姿勢をとることで問題の解決を試みた。
