| Research Abstract |
The Ethnoarchaeological study on domestic pottery production in East Cape district and Wari Island as well as Middle Sepik River in Papua New Guinea was curried out during 3 years.The main purpose of the field research was to establish the theoretical framework for the understanding and modeling of Jomon Pottery type by interviewing the way how women potters transmit the technological knowledge and ideas to their daughters,and by studying the patterns of dispersal of the potteries in a areal space in various context.
Not only technological achievement and superiority but also potter's cosmological aspects and religious status are responsible for the establishment of the leading position in pottery production in an area and the determinant factor for stylistic changes in pottery type.
