| Research Abstract |
Major similarities can be recognized between the various pottery traditions of westernJapan. In addition to clarifying the systems of pottery production throughout this region, with a focus on the Kinki region, I have attempted to recreate the evolution of specialization of daily implements, including those of wood, stone, and iron. While Childe (1951) viewed economic development as promoting specialization and the division of labor, it has recently been suggested that these developments correspond more strongly with political centralization and social complexity (Clark and Parry 1990). This is especially instructive when considering the maturation and specialization of the production systems of western Japan. Comparing the nature of pottery production and specialization in the Japanese archipelago with that of the Korean Peninsula, a major transformational epoch is recognized at a similar time, albeit under differing technological conditions. The strategy of centralizing centers of production under the control of the elites can be also recognized for western Japan.
