研究実績の概要 |
Research with Simon Kaner at the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Art and Culture (SISJAC) involved 1) collaborating on a project "Global Perspectives on British Archaeology" and 2) collection, analysis, and online publication of a database on archaeological sites and reconstructed buildings. Dr. Simon Kaner is the principle investigator of "Global Perspectives," which is a public impact project aimed at introducing East Anglian archaeological sites alongside similar types of sites in Japan and other parts of the world. The PI assisted Dr. Kaner and co-investigator Dr. Sam Nixon with the conceptualization, design of displays, and event planning. In total, the program hosted public archaeology events at six East Anglian sites, among which the PI participated directly with three. The PI and other researchers presented results in a panel at the Theoretical Archaeology Group 2017 conference at Cardiff. The PI utilized the resources at SISJAC, especially the comprehensive library collections of Japanese archaeological reports, to collect and record information on archaeological sites developed with reconstructed buildings. This project involves data collection as well as the creation of a bi-lingual online website (r.bloxi.jp) to open the results to the public. To assist, Dr. Yoshida Yasuyuki and Professor Gary Ross were enlisted to transcribe, record, and proofread the database as well as conduct the necessary web design and database programming. The results and issues surrounding database creation were presented as an invitational lecture at iPRES 2017 in Kyoto.

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
Overall, the research followed the expected plans initially proposed. The data collection, database programming, and web design for the database of reconstructed sites and buildings has created a viable open-access bilingual site for public usage. Two unexpected results were 1) an invitation to discuss issues surrounding "data preservation" (at iPRES 2017 in Kyoto) that arose during the course of this research and 2) the collaboration in the Global Perspectives in British Archaeology panel at TAG 2017 Cardiff. These results have shown this research is of interdisciplinary and international interest.
