Abstract: This paper reconsiders
spatial cognition in Japanese archaeology based on an analysis of
boundary areas of Kofun period societies. Compared to the study of
other boundary areas, that of South Kyushu has been particularly
hindered by the assumption that the Hayato, a people who appear in
ancient literature, were a seperate ethnic group.
After consulting and consolidating the current studies of the Kofun period in South Kyushu, the actual situation of the region is clarified by use of recent discoveries, and the factors behind the formation of boundary areas are considered. Finally, the results are compared with the situations in the western and northern boundary areas to understand the structural nature of the Kofun period boundaries and the social change which preceded the ritsuryo state.

“Original Japan” hidden in archaeology:
Repeating the Minerva Debate
YANO Ken’ichi
Abstract: In archaeological
debates on the chronology of Jomon pottery, those who insist on the
typological continuity of local styles and those who argue against
it are often in opposition. I point out that this discourse shares a
common structure with the Minerva Debate, which occurred when the
concept of “original Japan” was popularized in the early Showa era.
The Minerva Debate proceeded with both of the opposing sides
strongly aware of the relationship between the Jomon and Japan.
Similarly, “regionalist” views that stress the regional variability
of the Jomon, despite their apparent criticism of the present
framework of Japan as a unified whole, inevitably see the origins of
variability, and hence the roots of Japan itself, in Jomon culture.
Thus, chronological arguments on Jomon pottery types are nothing
more than detailed confirmations of an “original Japan.” In order to
rise above this situation we need more incisive analysis of the
meaning of historical changes in the Jomon period.
Keywords: Chronology; Minerva
Debate; regionalism; pottery style; Jomon
pottery.

The burial system of Tagajo: Locations of a mass
cemetery and individual graves

Functional changes in burial practices in the Iron Age in the Northern Iran

Abstract: With the program of
Emishi conquest by the Kanmu Court at the end of the eighth century,
men and goods were gathered from eastern Japan at Tagajo in large
numbers. Within the fort precinct, the administrative center and
government offices were largely repaired, while the area outside was
divided into a rectangular grid of streets running north-south and
east-west, and Tagajo thus developed as an ancient provincial city.
In the period centering on the latter half of the ninth century, a
mass cemetery was made at a dry riverbed lying beyond the city grid
to the north. It is thought that the occasion for creating this
cemetery was the 869 Jogan earthquake and tsunami that caused great
damage to Tagajo, with over one thousand deaths by drowning
recorded. The location of the cemetery, at a dry riverbed outside
the city grid, indicates that urban regulations were strictly in
place in the same manner as for the Nara and Heian capitals and
Dazaifu, and that the cemetery was therefore placed outside the
provincial government district, reinforcing Hirakawa Minami’s
characterization of Tagajo as an ancient provincial city. Moreover,
individual graves made along the roads within the city grid and
environs are similar to roadside individual graves of the Heian and
Nagaoka capitals.
Keywords: Tagajo; Ancient
provincial city; mass cemetery; individual
graves.
Functional changes in burial practices in the Iron Age in the Northern Iran
ARIMATSU Yui
Abstract: Material culture
associated with burials was highly developed during the Iron Age
(1450-330 BC) in the northern mountainous area in the Islamic
Republic of Iran. In this paper I analyze this phenomenon as a form
of “materialization,” focusing on the knowledge given material form
as burial goods in order to reveal their social functions and
observe their temporal change. As a result, I find a tendency for
burial practices to become simplified and de-ritualized. This can be
regarded as a process of burial practices losing their function of
materialization. Moreover, on the whole this functional shift can be
interpreted contextually in terms of a change in the resources of
power, which entailed a departure from the prestige goods system,
accompanied by a shift in l?appareil d?ideologie. From this example
I point out the utility of looking at how ideology shifted from the
irregular means of materialization in burial practices to a more
practical medium, for examinations of the establishment of a more
stable and permanent social structure such as a ranked society or
territorial state.
Keywords: prestige goods; power;
ideology; state formation; Achaemenid Empire of
Persia.
