Encounters among different pottery traditions : migration, habitation, relation, and the societies behind the phenomena

我们知道，绳文、弥生、古坟时期，陶器的传统在每个分布地区都不断变化。然而，他们并不总是坚持自己的原始地区，但有时会搬到附近，或在少数情况下，遥远的地区，并遇到了陶器的传统已经存在。我们称这种现象为“不同陶器传统的相遇”。这种现象是多种多样的，有时是入侵的传统赶走了土著传统，有时是两种传统合二为一。两种传统可能以镶嵌的方式分布，或在共同的定居点共存。这些不同的图案，必然反映出传承各自传统的人类族群之间，所遭遇到的新关系。在这个项目中，多个时期、多个地区的陶艺研究专家，搜集了许多“不同陶艺传统相遇”的案例。将它们分为几种模式，并对每种模式背后的关系进行了研究。认为在每个时期占主导地位的特征模式（如绳纹或弥生）反映了各自的基本社会结构。对绳纹、弥生和古坟各个时期之外的基本陶器概念（如敬器、吉器、敬人、锐器等）进行了研究和排序。为此，对粘土材料进行了岩石学和化学研究。2007年11月25日至26日，在东京大学举行了公开报告会<th><th>，近200名与会者展示了考古学家对该项目的浓厚兴趣。该项目的最后报告将于2008年由Doseisha以普通书的形式出版，在书店可以找到。

As we know for the Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun periods, pottery traditions changed without break in each distributional area. However, they did not always cling to their own original areas but sometimes moved into neighboring or, in a few cases, far away areas and encountered the pottery tradition which had existed there. We call these phenomena "encounters among different pottery traditions" The phenomena are various ; in some cases the invading tradition drives away the indigenous one and in other cases the two traditions merge into one. Two traditions may distribute in a mosaic manner, or coexist in the common settlements. These various patterns must reflect new relations among human groups which have encountered carrying each own tradition.In this project, experts of pottery research specializing in many periods and areas gathered and picked up many cases of "encounters among different pottery traditions". They were classified into several patterns and the relations behind each pattern were examined.Characteristic pattern seen dominantly in each period such as Jomon or Yayoi was recognized as a reflection of respective basic social structure.Basic pottery concepts such as Keishiki, Yoshiki, Keito, Ruikei, etc. beyond each period of the Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun were examined and put in order. Petrological and chemical researches of clay material were tried for the aim of this project. Relation between environmental changes and translocation of pottery traditions was examined also.A public report meeting was held at The University of Tokyo on November 25^<th> and 26^<th>, 2007 and the attendants coming up to two hundreds demonstrated archaeologists' keen interest in this project. The final report on the project will be published by Doseisha in 2008 in a form of normal book found at bookstores.
