我们分析了在日本秋田县赤上神社发现的稀有木质小麦奴。历史物品的形成往往在文献中被详细地记录下来，尽管由于它的古老，这座特殊的科迈努雕塑的形成年代仍然未知。因此，使用放射性碳(14C)摆动匹配技术进行了年龄测定工作。虽然样本数量有限，但我们已经成功地测量了雕塑中的14C样本以及几组树木年轮。我们根据树木的年龄和赤上神社使用的木质建筑材料所获得的结果来解释科迈努雕塑的年代。从科迈努获得的结果显示，公元550年至公元1020年，这与神社的形成日期一致。因此，多重14C摆动匹配法可以确定木材的准确日历年龄，并为没有可靠历史文献的时期提供一些支持信息。
We analyzed rare wooden Komainu found at Akagami Shrine in Akita prefecture, Japan. The formation of historical objects is often thoroughly recorded in documents, although the formation age of this particular Komainu sculpture is still unknown due to its antiquity. Thus, age determination exercises have been conducted using radiocarbon (14C)-wiggle-matching techniques. Although only a limited quantity was available for sampling, we have successfully measured 14C samples in the sculptures along with several sets of tree rings. We interpret the Komainu sculptures age considering the age of the trees and the result obtained from the wooden construction materials used for the Akagami shrine. The results obtained from Komainu show a range from 550 CE to 1020 CE, which is consistent with the dates of the shrine’s formation. Thus, the multiple 14C-wiggle-matching method can determine precise calendar ages of wood, as well as provide some supportive information for the periods when there are no reliable historical documents.
