A study of the transition process from the Yayoi to the Kofun period as seen from settlement, cemetery, ritual and pottery

我解释说，在弥合时期，带有青铜器的集体仪式的衰落与酋长和精英大土堆埋葬的出现和繁荣是同时发生的。在弥合时期，集体仪式的衰落是由于酋长和精英成为有政治权力的人而导致的。弥合王朝末期，日本西部有权势的首领之间形成了政治同盟，新首领继承首领的新仪式变成了伪社群仪式。弥合王朝中后期，北九州地区的陶器风格结构发生了波动，东九州、楚国、四国地区的陶器风格元素开始流入九州北部地区。这一趋势逐渐加强，直至弥合时代末期。在科匈帝国时期之初，九州北部地区陶艺风格的这一转变过程就完成了。这一现象的发生与青铜礼器的集体仪式的衰落、酋长大土堆葬的出现和繁荣以及传统价值观的萎缩有关。

I elucidated the fall of communal rites with bronze ritual objects during the Yayoi period took place in parallel with the emergence and prosperity of big mound burials for chiefs and elites.In the Yayoi period, the decline of communal rites were brought about from the growth of chiefs and elites as men of political power. At the end of Yayoi period, the political alliance was organized between powerful chiefs in western Japan, and new rite for justifying the inheritance of chiefship by new chief became to function as the false communal rites.In the latter half of the middle Yayoi period, the fluctuation took place in the structure of pottery style of Northern Kyushu district and the elements of pottery style in eastern Kyushu, Chugoku and Shikoku districts began to flow into Northern Kyushu district. This tendency was strengthened gradually till the end of Yayoi Period. At the beginning of Kohun period, this transformation process of pottery style in Northern Kyushu district completed. This phenomenon took place in connection with the fall of communal rites with bronze ritual objects, the emergence and prosperity of big mound burials for chiefs, and atrophy of the traditional sense of value.
