Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study，I collected the macro and micro data which were masonry of the Asuka period, using the technique of the three-dimensional measurement and examined those facts. As a result, I clarified the situation supplied to each consuming place unitarily after various products such as decorated foundation stone of the temple, the palace, the burial mound, construction stone of the burial facilities were processed in the same technique and were finished in a level of the completion near a quarry by the production and distribution of the Nijosan tuff in the latter half of the Asuka period. In addition, I was able to understand the development of production and distribution of the Nijosan tuff product in the latter half of the Asuka period that the processing technique of hard stones (granite) introduced into the beginning from the Korean Peninsula in the Early Asuka period was accomplished in what was applied to traditional soft stones (Nijozan tufa) since the Burial Mound age.
