Outline of Final Research Achievements

I had explication of Bronze casting technology in Yayoi Period from Kofun Period.A verification experiment with an earth product like a perspective of Takatsuki(small one-legged tray)-shaped earthenware. A verification experiment changed and did the condition. Used metal is an alloy of copper (90%), a tin (5%) and lead (5%).
