About the origin of pottery in East Asia, we have promoted an active interchange among Japanese, Chinese and Russian archaeologists tounderstand the trend of archaeological investugation and to collect materials. As a consequence of our stydy, we realized that three were various chance of poterry making in the biginning of Neolithic East Asia and we had toevaluate it from various point of view.1, In the far eastern district of Russia, it was clear that Osipovka culture, have been considered to be a microblade industry with points in final paleolithic, had pottery. Carbon-14 dating suggestedthat the date of Gontyaruka site in Khabarovsk city go back over 10,000B.P..2, Tang Chug, he is a investigators of this project, gave a presentation on pottery that were found with microblades in the northern China which were decorated with nail-impressd patterns, and he figured out that those resemble incipient-Jomon pottery in the western Japan. We comfirmed that the date of sherds from Kotouryou site were over 10,000B.P.by thermoluminescence dating.3, We saw artifacts from Xian Ren Dong cave and other many sites in south China, and we could clear that the clusters of lithic artifacts in those sites were unfixed-form flake industries, and the majority were piece esquillees. those pottery in period of emergence had thick wall and large quartz temper, and it is much defferent from incipient-Jomon pottery. About the manufacturing technique of pottery, we could not agree to "small slabs pasting method", we think both pottery in Japan and China were formed by "ring building method".4, We can figure out that unfixed-form flake industries from final paleolithic to the beginning of Neolithic in south China were similar to industries in Japan, especially the southwestern islands and south Kyusyu. and we saw stone tools from Xuon Chai site in Vietnam, and we understood those was much defferent from Hoa-Binh culture.
