ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON THE KIBI REGION AFTER THE ‘YURYAKU DYNASTY'.

1.冈山县Nima-Otsuka-Koun、Mabi-Cho、Kibi-un、Okayama-Ken的挖掘工作在本赠款任期内完成。我们确认了一个以前不为人知的石室，并挖掘出了大量的墓葬物品。在钥匙孔形状的丘陵一侧仔细挖掘了一个突出的部分，并获得了仪式活动的痕迹。因此，尼玛-大冢-库芬被认为是该地区6世纪中叶的典型墓葬丘陵。为了评估尼玛-大冢-库芬和其他相关墓丘，2003年12月，考古学会在“玉屋王朝”的基比地区研讨会上发表了一篇名为“玉屋王朝后的基比地区”的论文。在这次研讨会上，人们对“玉里亚库王朝”基比地区的认识有了明显的不同。会议结果将于2005年公布。为恢复尼玛-大冢-库芬的环境，进行了土壤钻探和地形的地理信息系统分析。在详细分析陶俑分布的基础上，利用地理信息系统对每件文物的原始位置进行估计。4.每天在网上发布发掘进展，在每个季节对发掘情况进行现场讲解，并为当地的AMATURE举办讲座。

1.THE EXCAVATION OF NIMA-OTSUKA-KOFUN, MABI-CHO, KIBI-GUN, OKAYAMA-KEN WAS FINISHED IN THIS GRANT TERM. WE IDENTIFIED A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN STONE CHAMBER AND EXCAVATED A QUANTITY OF BURIAL GOODS. A PROJECTING PART AT THE SIDE OF THE KEYHOLE-SHAPED MOUND WAS CAREFULLY EXCAVATED AND THE TRACES OF CEREMONIAL ACTIVITIES WERE OBTAINED. AS A RESULT NIMA-OTSUKA-KOFUN IS THOUGHT TO BE A TYPICAL BURIAL MOUND IN THE MID-SIXTH CENTURY IN THIS REGION. A INTERIM REPORT WAS PUBLISHED AND THE FORMAL REPORT WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2006.2.TO EVALUATE NIMA-OTSUKA-KOFUN AND OTHER RELATED BURIAL MOUNDS, A PAPER ‘THE KIBI REGION AFTER THE "YURYAKU DYNASTY"' WAS PRESENTED IN A SYMPOSIUM ‘KIBI REGION OF THE "YURYAKU DYNASITY" HOLD BY THE SOCIETY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES IN DECEMBER 2003. THE DIFFERENCES OF THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE KIBI REGION IN THE "YURYAKU DYNASTY" BECAME APPARENT IN THIS SYMPOSIUM. THE RESULT OF THE SYMPOSIUM WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2005.3.DRILLING SURVEY OF THE SOIL TO RESTORE THE ENVIRONMENT OF NIMA-OTSUKA-KOFUN AND THE GIS ANALYSIS OF TOPOGRAPHY WERE CARRIED OUT. ON THE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF POTTERY AND CLAY FIGURES, THE ORIGINAL POSITION OF EACH OBJECT WAS ESTIMATED WITH THE USE OF GIS.4.THE PROGRESS OF EXCAVATIONS WAS PUBLISHED EVERYDAY ON THE WEB, ON SITE EXPLANATION OF THE EXCAVATION WAS CURRIED OUT IN EACH SEASON, AND A LECTURE WAS GIVEN FOR LOCAL AMATURES.
