研究実績の概要 |
This project examines reconstructed prehistoric dwellings in Japan, the bid for Jomon period sites for inscription as World Heritage, and involves fieldwork on accelerator mass spectrometry. Research on reconstructed prehistoric dwellings has created a database which allows for comparison of these buildings. It currently contains information on 340 sites and over 980 structures. Collected information includes site name, location, address, years built, designations, and contact information. Entries for each individual building include its type, date built, materials utilised, size, location, and the name of the designer. The database is currently available in an online format (r.bloxi.jp). Data collection was enhanced with fieldwork at many sites in Nagano and Niigata and the collection of printed site development reports. Fieldwork was most productive at Hokuto City, which contains Kinsei Site and Umenoki Site - the latter of which is currently undergoing development. As for research on World Heritage bid, fieldwork has been distributed through academic presentations and the ongoing writing of research reports. Research on accelerator mass spectrometry research is continuing with new collaborative research planned with Hokuto City and Tokyo University to analyze remains.
