项目摘要

This fiscal year is the last year of our research project. We held the work shop in summer to arrange for the research plan and the final report.Prof. NAKAYA and I performed the field survey in Republic of Mali, West Africa with two Malian scholars, Tereba TOGOLA, Director of the Cultural Heritage of Ministry of Culture and Mamadou CISSE, Chief of the section of the Cultural Heritage. This archaeology excavation has been held in Gao, eastern Mali for about 72 days between November 2003 and January 2004.During this survey, we could find a huge building totally made with stones, the stone building being the first findings in the savanna zone of West Africa. Though we expanded excavation area to 20m × 28m, we could not yet find the full scale of this building. As for the period of its construction, we situate it between 7^<th> and 11^<th> century from the comparison with the earthenware found through our precedent excavation held at Gao-Saney in 2001.According to the medieval Arabic resources, Gao was one of the first Kingdoms in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its scale, materials, and epoch suggest that this building is the ruins of the oldest king's palace in West Africa that the archeological excavation can have found.Our research of this year is a very successful one, being that it can illuminate not only the obscure periods of the West African History, but the process of the social stratification that is an important subject of Social Anthropology.

本财政年度是我们研究项目的最后一年。为了安排研究计划和最终报告，我们在夏季召开了工作会议。我和中谷教授与两位马里学者，文化部文化遗产司司长Tereba TOGOLA和文化遗产科科长Mamadou CISSE一起在西非马里共和国进行了实地考察。2003年11月至2004年1月在马里东部的加奥进行了为期72天的考古发掘，发现了一座完全由石头建造的巨大建筑，这是西非热带稀树草原地区首次发现的石头建筑。虽然我们将发掘面积扩大到20米× 28米，但我们仍然无法找到该建筑的完整尺寸。根据<th><th>我们2001年在高沙内考古发掘出土的陶器资料，我们推测高沙内王国的建造年代在7 ~世纪之间。根据中世纪阿拉伯语资料，高沙内王国是撒哈拉以南非洲最早的王国之一。它的规模、材料和年代表明，这座建筑是考古发掘所能发现的西非最古老的王宫遗址。我们今年的研究是非常成功的，因为它不仅可以阐明西非历史上模糊的时期，而且可以阐明社会分层的过程，这是社会人类学的一个重要课题。
