| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We undertook the research on three themes. (1) Regarding the relationship between pagoda and tomb, we have clarified that stone works and various signs were built on the tombs of 13th-14th century and assumed that the warrior class was the bearer of the construction based on the wooden houkyouin-tou (with a signature of 1318). (2) Regarding the Cineration ruins, we have pointed out the existence of various cinerary forms based on the comparison between the results of the survey of wooden small-scale gorin-to discovered at Kongoji in Kawachinagano City and the state of cinerary relics at Gangoji. Furthermore, we could clarify one part of the faith in the sub-temple through the survey of gorin-to made of one stone (17c-18c) degenerated in the case of Cineration in Kouyasan. (3) With regard to the destruction of the medieval tombs, we could clarify the aspect of end of the medieval tomb through the analysis of the remaining small Buddhist image and gorin-to made of one stone.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
考古学の中でも立ち遅れていた中世墓研究について、過去の研究成果とあわせて一定の到達点に近づくことができた。特に今回の研究では未知の資料の発見とその調査成果を踏まえて研究を進展できたことは大きく、これまでにない所見を提示することができた。
また、各地に残る一石五輪塔や小石仏の分布傾向、年代把握などの基礎情報の収集とそれを踏まえた総括的な研究を実施できたことから、中世墓の終焉というテーマから発展して、近世墓の成立背景や移行期の様相を把握できるなど、大きな成果を得ることができた。このことは考古学的な成果にとどまらず、中世史、近世史の研究へも大きく寄与できるものになったと考えている。
