| Research Abstract |
The aim of the present research is to establish an archaeological research method to obtain high-resolution palaeoenvironmental data from prehistoric sites, as well as to integrate such bioarchaeological data with information obtained from other archaeological data. With this goal in mind, excavations were carried out at Nonko-iwa 1Rock shelter and Tengu-iwa Rock Shelter in Nagano Prefecture. At Nonko-iwa 1 Rock Shelter, no clear cultural layer was identified, although a few findings were dated to the Final Jomon Period. Pottery, stone and bone artifacts as well as faunal and floral remains were collected during the excavation of Tengu-iwa Rock shelter in 2011 and 2012 seasons. Based on pottery chronology, the cultural layers were dated to the period from Early Yayoi to Early Kofun Periods. Radiocarbon dating is also being carried out.
