| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research project is to develop a material dating method called “steel beam archaeology” using physical attributes of steel beams to facilitate dating of buildings that use steel beams. Chronologies were formulated based on physical attributes of the cross-section of I-beams, the standardized size of beams and company names inscribed on beams. These chronologies were applied to historical buildings in Panam Nagar Historical Preservation Area, and construction dates were successfully inferred. Surveys to access the rate of remaining historical buildings among currently used one in Chittagong and Kolkata suggest that 17% and 43% of the existing buildings, respectively, were more than 100 years old.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
第2次大戦以降の開発援助の過程で、西洋的な価値が土着の価値を凌駕し、伝統的なものは「古臭い、時代遅れ」として顧みられなくなった。しかし、発展途上国にはそれぞれ豊かな生活文化の伝統があり、文化的誇りの源泉ともなりうる。一方、途上国のバナキュラー建築は永続性のある建材で作られたものが少ないのも事実であり、植民地期の石造・レンガ造の住居店舗は貴重な遺産となりえる。この研究の社会的意義はそのようなバナキュラー建築を編年し、その歴史的、文化的価値づけを行うことで、旧植民地地域に新たな歴史が構築され、従来の開発援助言説によって否定された住民の文化的誇りを醸成することである。
