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, the principle investigator of "Global Perspectives," developed 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 2017 and worked on plans to extend this project in further years. The PI utilized the resources at SISJAC, especially the 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. The gaps in the data collection were filled through both archival research and by requesting information from cultural resource managing authorities, with some 130 separate institutions contacted.
