Study on the changes of hunting instruments from Pleistocene to Holocene in Far East and the Sea of Japan Rim

1.研究目的与计划本研究的目的是通过对远东地区全新世石器新组合的具体考察，研究该地区全新世石器新组合的形成过程。为此，我们准备了两个主要观点。一是研究中国、蒙古、北西伯利亚、远东、朝鲜半岛和日本全新世上半叶的石器工具组合及其技术基础。二是研究石源矿山的发展和支撑石制仪器技术变革和推广的输送系统的变化。研究与发表成果1)西伯利亚东部埃尼塞河谷微刀片产业研究2)日本九州北部楔形微刀片岩心技术分析3)韩国微刀片产业研究4)韩国旧石器时代年代研究5)韩国南部新石器时代石器研究6)北方黑曜石工具遗址名录7)远东地区黑曜石叶片研究——以俄罗斯海区的再萨诺夫卡文化为例8)韩国南部新石器时代遗址黑曜石化学分析9)日本九州地区石料来源与供应体系研究10)日本九州南部绳纹早期石器制造体系再考察3。1)对旧石器时代工业特别是韩国的研究，认为远东地区旧石器时代晚期的形成可以看作是抛掷狩猎工具石矛的出现。2)虽然远东东南部过渡时期石器的主要变化是以森林植物群扩大为基础的矛和箭的出现为特征，但各地区石器出现的时间和组成各不相同。特别是由于磨光的石器受原料的影响强烈，所以具有地方特色。少

1.Purpose and Plan of researchThe purpose of this study is to research a process of forming new assemblage of stone tools in Holocene in Far East Asia through examining the materials in that area concretely. For this purpose we prepared tow major viewpoints. One is a researching the stone instrument assemblage and the technical bases of the first half of Holocene in China, Mongolia, Northern Siberia, Far East, the Korean peninsula and Japan. The other is researching the development of stone source mine and the change of delivering system that supported a technical change and diffusion of a stone instrument.2.Research and publish the Results1)Study of micro-blade industry in the Enisei Valley, Eastern Siberia2)Technical analysis of wedge shaped micro-blade cores in Northern Kyushu, Japan3)Researching of micro-blade industries in Korea4)Chronological study of Paleolithic in Korea5)Researching of Neolithic stone tools in Southern Korea6)Making a list of site with obsidian tools in Norther … More n China, Inner Mongolia, the Korean peninsula and Maritime region of Russia7)Study on obsidian blades in Far East Asia-Focusing on Zaisanovka Culture in Maritime region, Russia-8)Chemical analysis of obsidian from Neolithic Sites in Southern Korea9)Study on stone sources and supplying system of stone materials in Kyushu, Japan10)Re-examination of stone tool manufacturing system in Early Jomon, Southern Kyushu, Japan3.Summary of results1)Researching of Paleolithic industry especially of Korea, it is considered that the formation of Upper Paleolithic in Far East Asia be regarded as appearance of stone spearhead as throwing hunting instrument2)Although the major change of stone tools in transitional period in Southeastern Far East Asia is characterized by a appearance of spear and arrow based on enlargement of forest flora, the appearance time and composition of tools vary in each region, especially because polished stone tools are affected by raw material strongly, they have local characteristics.
