Inheritance and transformation of pottery:
Regional differences in the birth and development of the Jomon lamp-shaped
pottery
NAKAMURA Kousaku
NAKAMURA Kousaku
Abstract: This paper addresses
questions concerning the inheritance and transformation of pottery
categorization, based on the analysis of lamp-shaped pottery of the
Middle Jomon period. Various attributes are considered together to
investigate the Jomon people’s categorization of pottery in terms of
how they classified the characteristics, social values and symbolic
meanings of pottery. By analyzing decoration, the intentional
smashing of pottery, excavation and other archaeological contexts,
this paper reveals that basic characteristics were inherited from
the preceding face-shaped handle when the lamp-shaped pottery
emerged in the middle Middle Jomon period, and that various types of
lamp-shaped pottery existed simultaneously in the late Middle Jomon
period. Chronological and regional differences in the categorization
are clarified by changes in the way they were handled as seen from
how they were deposited in the archaeological record, their numbers,
and the redundant variations of multiple attributes.
Keywords: Pottery forms;
categorization; decoration; intentional smashing of pottery;
excavation context.
Abstract: This paper investigates
soft stone imitative goods from tombs in the Kanto region to
reconstruct the manufacturing systems of these artifacts, which were
offered in burial mounds during the fourth and fifth centuries in
protohistoric Japan. First of all, two tiers of manufacturing units
are presumed: a “minimum unit” of goods sharing not only a similar
shape but also the same material and technique; and a “basic unit”
consisting of multiple “minimum units,” which reflects the
manufacture of an individual person. Sets of products from burials
can be classified into two types. One consists of items made by a
single manufacturer, which is the prevailing type in the Shimosa
region. The other, containing items made by two or more craftsmen,
is distributed mainly in Kozuke. As explanation for this difference,
with sets of items made by several persons common in Kozuke while
sets in Shimosa are regarded as made by single manufacturers, the
interpretation is offered that chiefs in Kozuke reorganized
craftsmen into a larger manufacturing system, to enrich the supply
of soft stone imitative goods for offerings in their own
burials.
Keywords: Burial mounds; soft
stone imitative goods; manufacturing units; manufacturing types;
Kozuke; protohistoric Japan.

Abstract: This study aims to
clarify plant use during the final stage of the Jomon period in the
Ina Basin, central Japan. We examined seed impressions on clay
vessels from three sites: the Yazaki, Ishigyo and Gongendomae sites.
A replication method was employed to create silicone models of the
impressions which were observed using scanning electron microscopy.
As a result of the analysis, impressions made by grains of Setaria
italica P. Beauv. and Panicum miliaceum L. could be identified.
Chronological examination suggests that almost all of the fragments
of potsherd from the Yazaki site are of the Hanareyama-type, which
is assigned to the final stage of the Jomon period. These plant seed
impressions therefore represent some of the earliest evidence for
millet cultivation in the Japanese islands.

Transformation of administrative office compounds in ancient palaces
IEHARA Keita
Abstract: This paper examines the
results of archaeological investigations at palace and capital sites
of the seventh and eighth centuries and discusses the development
and transformation of administrative office compounds (Zoshi) in the
ancient imperial cities of Japan. Analyses were carried out on the
quantity and distribution of compounds in the palaces, their spatial
segmentation and structural modification, the layout of the
buildings, and the building-to-land ratios. This research reveals
that sites for administrative office compounds were limited by
topographical constraints at the Former Naniwa Palace and the Asuka
Palace sites. This implies that sufficient space was not included in
construction plans for early palaces. At the Asuka Palace site, the
areas of administrative office compounds were not subdivided with
board fences, suggesting that the role of each compound was still
undifferentiated, since the traditional governmental system in which
each administrative duty was assigned to and conducted exclusively
by a clan still held influence. At the Fujiwara Palace, the palace
ground became square in shape and the locus of public administration
moved from the residences of various clans to compounds within the
palace, and a formal system of government based on the ritsuryo code
was established. At the Nara Palace, segmentation of compound space
and structural changes in compound buildings were seen, as the
systematic role of each compound became clear. This study thus shows
the transformation of administrative office compounds was linked to
the development of the ritsuryo administrative system, with the
concept of the ritsuryo bureaucracy converted into tangible form as
the layouts of the compounds and the structure of the
buildings.
Keywords: Ritsuryo state;
bureaucracy; imperial city; administrative office compound (Zoshi),
embedded-pillar buildings.
