Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a result of survey research of wooden figurine in Kofun using three-dimensional laser measurement, by the mass consumption of Sciadopitys verticillata large diameter trees up to the mid-term at the royal authority center of the Kofun period, in the late-term becomes medium and small diameter trees use mainly, among them, it was clarified that the good quality wood was supplied to a large scale tumulus, and the low quality wood was supplied to a medium to small scale tumulus. In addition, for the purpose of grasping the wood production and distribution of the royal authority center, we conducted research on the chip of coniferous tree excavated from archaeological sites in the mountainous region of the east of Nara Basin, and confirmed the situation of conifer products are produced in mountainous region, and being supplied to basin. In addition,in China, we pointed out that the Han Dynasty useful wood may have been depleted during around the area around the royal authority center.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
古墳時代王権中枢の木材利用研究において、原材獲得から消費までの過程や関与する範囲の解明を目的とした先行研究はほとんどない状況であったが、今回の三次元レーザー計測を駆使しての木製樹物の木取りの資料化と生産遺跡出土残材のデーターベース構築によって、その実態解明に成功した。また古墳時代王権中枢の動態を探る研究資料としては低い位置付けにあった木製品が、この種の検討でも有効な資料であることを証明した。さらに日本列島内における長距離輸送をともなう資源獲得の端緒が、この古墳時代の木材利用にあり、その活動で当時の社会が限りある資源の枯渇に直面するという、現代に通じる人と自然資源との関りを明らかにできた。
