ON THE ANCIENT CULTURAL CONTACTS AROUND THE SEA OF JAPAN (BY JOINT RESEARCH JAPAN==RUSSIA)

关于日本海周边地区古代文化交流的研究，大多集中在南部地区。但实际上，这一地区的古代文化接触也发生在北方，即北海道或本州北部与西伯利亚或滨海地区之间。例如，北海道的龙骨状岩芯、刃箭头等的故乡是西伯利亚或滨海地区，近十年来，北海道和北方本州的抢救性考古发掘因多项建设而加速，发现了许多起源于海外的考古物品。例如，在北海道洋一大川遗址发现的黑陶，可能是高古里或渤海的黑陶;在北海道江ashi的Menasidomari遗址发现的青铜带饰，可能是女真人的，因此，日本考古学家、民族学家和历史学家对这一问题感兴趣，打算与俄罗斯学者合作研究。几个堡垒1993年，俄罗斯学者对多处考古遗址进行了考察，并参观了日本北海道和北海道本州岛的博物馆。1994年，俄罗斯学者和日本学者分别进行了访问，并在各国进行了研究。在研究的过程中，我们认识到了女真文化的辉煌，特别是其庞大的堡垒和精美的生活资料，并认为进一步研究女真文化将有助于研究日俄古代文化交流，最终有助于研究阿伊努文化的起源。

In general, most studies of ancient cultural contacts around the sea of Japan have been paid attention mainly to southern part of the area. But in reality, ancient cultural contacts of the area had been done also in the nothern part, namely between Hokkaido or northen Honshu and Siberia or Maritime re-gion. For example, the homeland of keel shaped core, blade arrowhead of Hokkaido were Si-beria or Maritime region.In recent decade, the rescue archaeological excavetions in Hokkaido and northern Honshu were accelerated by many constructions, and then, many arcaeological items originated in oversea area were discovered. For example, black pottery perhaps made in Kao-ku-li or Pohai was discovered at Okawa sites in Yoichi Hokkaido, and bronze belt ornaments uncovered at Menasidomari in Esashi Hokkaido perhaps were originated in Jurchen.So we Japanese archaeologists, ethnologists and historians who interested in the problem intended to resaerch in cooperation with Russian scholars.In 1992, Japanese scholars researched palaeolithic sites or shell-midden, and several fortress (so called gorodishiche) in the Maritime region.In 1993, Russian scholars researched many archeaological sites, and visited museums in Hokkaido and nothern Honsyu of Japan.In 1994, Russian scholar and Japanese scholars visited each to each, and researched in the each country.In the process of this reseach, we recognized magnificence of Jurchen culture, especially their large fortress and thier fine usual materials, and believed that further research of Jurchen culture would contribute to study of ancient cultural contacts between Japan and Russia, and finaly to study of the origin of Ainu culture.
