This project was to trace historical process of Bantu expansion through comparative study of material culture by combining fieldwork and detailed research on museum collections. One of the main points of the project was to share the results in the form of digitized database, or cyber-museum. Because of the aim and the method, it was indispensable to carry out the project jointly with museums in relevant countries.Many museums in central and southern Africa have got a lot of archaeological and ethnographic specimens with regard to Bantu peoples, but information of these objects has scarcely been shared internationally. By networking the pieces of information, we envisaged to get clearer views concerning Bantu expansion.First of all, research on the basic vocabularies of Bantu languages was carried out, and we got an overview of glottochronological relationship among Bantu languages. Being based on the result of the research, we went on to conduct comparative study of material culture am … More ong Bantu peoples with special reference to iron manufacturing, architecture, weaving, traditional medicine and related ritual activities. As for traditional iron manufacturing, which has been considered to be the crucial index of Bantu civilization but disappeared some decades ago, we made experiments both in Japan and in Cameroon where we could find some elders who had actual experience.Through these various activities, we are now able to trace more clearly the history of Bantu expansion on a concrete basis. In addition, through this 4 years project, we constructed "Cyber-musum of African Civilization", that is a database of ethnographic and archaeological materials owned by 13 museums of 8 countries. Although the "Cyber-musum" is not yet a comprehensive database of Bantu related collections in the world, it must be a good start to integrate existing information concerning Bantu civilization. We also believe that this projects is useful to establish a common identity among peoples inc Central and Southern Africa. Less

本项目旨在通过对物质文化的比较研究，结合田野调查和对博物馆藏品的详细研究，追溯班图扩张的历史过程。该项目的要点之一是以数字化数据库或网络博物馆的形式分享成果。由于目的和方法的原因，与相关国家的博物馆联合开展这一项目是必不可少的。中南部非洲的许多博物馆都有许多班图族的考古和民族志标本，但这些物品的信息几乎没有在国际上共享。首先，我们对班图语的基本词汇进行了研究，并对班图语之间的声学时序关系进行了概述。在研究结果的基础上，我们对…的物质文化进行了比较研究更多的翁班图人，特别提到炼铁、建筑、编织、传统医学和相关的仪式活动。至于被认为是班图文明关键指标但在几十年前消失的传统钢铁制造，我们在日本和喀麦隆都进行了实验，找到了一些有实际经验的长辈，通过这些不同的活动，我们现在能够更清楚地追溯班图扩张的历史。此外，通过这个为期4年的项目，我们还建立了一个由8个国家的13个博物馆拥有的民族志和考古资料数据库--《非洲文明的网络博物馆》。虽然“网络博物馆”还不是世界上与班图有关的藏品的全面数据库，但它肯定是整合现有的关于班图文明的信息的一个良好开端。我们还认为，这一项目有助于在中部和南部非洲各国人民之间建立一种共同特征。较少
