MAKING A DATA BASE OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MATERIAL UNEARTHED FROM SYRIA BY TRACINGS WITH COMPUTER

1.我们用个人电脑对主要从Tell Mastuma出土的考古物品的图纸进行了追踪。与这些图纸相关的图片已被扫描并与它们连接。这些工作的一部分成果，即建立发掘记录的数据库，已载入成果报告。2.在本研究期间，合作者之一的和田久彦撰写了一篇题为《叙利亚西北部Tell Mastuma的陶器和地层0（阿契美尼德波斯时期）的遗迹》的文章。它出现在《古代东方博物馆公报》第23卷中。这是我们研究的成果之一，他充分利用了数据库的追踪和记录。他根据其地理位置、定居点的规模、马葬和其他发现建立了一个假设，认为Tell Mastuma在那个时期是一条主要道路上的一个舞台。我们意识到公布Tell Mastuma最上层的材料比我们预期的更重要，因为在叙利亚只有少数波斯时期的遗址被挖掘和报道。3.在叙利亚的ldlib博物馆工作期间，我们对Tell Mastuma材料进行了分类和拍照。4.购买并复印西亚及周边地区考古发掘报告和文化遗产书籍。5.制作“成果报告”，并在最后一年提交。报告包含数据库的一部分。本研究成果将发表在《古矿石博物馆公报》或其他论文上。

1.We have made tracing of the drawings of the archaeological objects unearthed mainly from Tell Mastuma with a personal computer. The pictures relating to these drawings have been scanned and connected with them. A part of the fruits of these works, namely making a data base of the records of the excavations, have been printed in the achievement report. We are planning to continue to make tracing and to make the data base better.2.During the term of this study, Hisahiko Wada, one of the collaborators, wrote an article entitled "The Pottery and the Remains of Stratum 0 (Achaemenid Persian period) at Tell Mastuma in Northwest Syria". It appeared in the Bulletin of the Ancient Orient Museum, vol.23. This is one of the fruits of our study and he made much use of the tracings and records of the data base. He set up a hypothesis that Tell Mastuma had been a stage on a main road in that period on the basis of its geographical location, size of the settlement, horse burial and other finds. It has been realized that the publication of the material of the uppermost layer of Tell Mastuma is more important than we expected because only a few sites of Persian period have been excavated and reported in Syria.3.While working in ldlib Museum in Syria where the material of Tell Mastuma was housed, we classified and photographed the unregistered objects. Some of them were put in the show case and exhibited to the public as cultural heritage of ldlib region.4.We purchased and photocopied excavation reports of archaeological sites in the West Asia and neighboring regions, and books about cultural assets.5.We made the "achievement report" which would be submitted in the final year. The report contains a part of the data base. The fruits obtained in this study will be published in the Bulletin of The Ancient Oreient Museum or other papers.
