This research aimed at investigating the nature and character of a category of archaeological artifacts. The jar coffins of the Yayoi period Northern Kyushu region of Japan were chosen as the material. The Yayoi period is widely accepted to have witnessed social stratification and a rapid increase of social complexity ignited by the systematic adoption of rice paddy field agriculture. The production of material items in the period is also inferred to have been semi- or fully-specialized from seemingly highly sophisticated outcomes typically seen in pottery products including the jar coffins. They are exceptionally large in size as earthen wares, and the potting techniques employed are seemingly standardized and sophisticated to the extent that some scholars conclude that they were manufactured by specialized potters/artisans. However, with some notable exceptions, it has to be noted that exactly how sophisticated and standardized the potting techniques employed were have not been subje … More cted to systematic scrutiny. The objective of this research was to fill this vacuum by investigating the morphological nature and character of the intra- and inter-site variability of the jar coffins of the Middle Yayoi period Northern Kyushu.The notable outcomes arc as follows :1 The intra-site variability can most significantly be observed in such attributes as 1)surface finishing technique, 2)the shape of the time, and 3)the shape of the clay band applied on the body. This suggests that a number of potters were involved in the production of the coffins which were morphologically broadly identical.2 The inter-site variability shows that there existed a number of geographical clines which can be grasped as mutually-overlapping distribution areas of morphological sub-categories of the jar coffins.3 These clines were changed through time in their spatial patternings.4 1 and 2 above suggest that the production system of the jar coffins are identical to that of the contemporary pots for daily use.5 3 above suggests that the system of information exchange concerning the production of the jar coffins and related matters such as the procedure of mortuary rituals changed through time.6 By drawing upon these outcomes the research tentatively concluded that the production system of the jar coffins did not quite reach the degree of sophistication and standardization which can be characterized as "full craft specialization".

这项研究旨在调查一类考古文物的性质和特征。材料选用日本九州北部弥生时代的罐棺。弥生时代被广泛认为见证了社会分层和由于系统地采用稻田农业而引发的社会复杂性的迅速增加。从罐棺等陶器产品中常见的看似高度复杂的结果来看，这一时期的物质产品的生产也被推断为半或完全专业化。它们的尺寸与陶器一样大，而且所采用的陶器技术看似标准化和复杂，以至于一些学者得出结论，它们是由专门的陶工/工匠制造的。然而，除了一些明显的例外之外，必须指出的是，所采用的盆栽技术到底有多复杂和标准化尚未经过系统的审查。本研究的目的是通过调查九州北部弥生中期罐棺的形态性质和遗址内和遗址间变异的特征来填补这一空白。显着的成果如下：1 遗址内变异最明显的表现在以下属性：1）表面处理技术，2）时间的形状，3）尸体上的粘土带的形状。这表明许多陶工参与了形态大致相同的棺材的制作。2 地点之间的差异表明存在许多地理路线，这些地理路线可以理解为罐棺形态子类别的相互重叠的分布区域。3这些路线的空间格局随着时间的推移而变化。4上述1和2表明，罐棺的生产系统与棺材的生产系统相同。 5 3 上述表明，有关棺材生产以及丧葬仪式程序等相关事项的信息交流系统随着时间的推移而发生了变化。 6 根据这些结果，研究初步得出结论，罐子棺材的生产系统尚未达到“全工艺专业化”的复杂化和标准化程度。较少的
