Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to analyze the actual condition of the hierarchical composition at the time of national formation and the basic and traditional domains of the village which is the foundation from the data of eastern Kanto. As a target of analysis, we conducted a survey of key tumuli in the central part of Ibaraki Prefecture. Specifically, it is survey of Haguro Kofun group in Omitama city, survey and organizing work of Atagoyama Kofun in Mito city, survey of Mitsuzuka Kofun group in Hitachinaka city, survey of Tokkebara Kofun in Shirosato town was conducted. As a result of the research, it was confirmed that the change occurring during the Kofun period closely relates to the change of distribution, and that the reorganization of the administrative division in the 7th century influenced the tumulus.
