An Archeaological Research on Fundamental Structure of the Ancient Metallurgical Workshop

By the analysis on fundamental structure of the ancient metallurgical workshopsfrom Kofun period toan-cient times,following various points became clear. Ancient workshops are greatly classified in two kinds.One is metallurgy type of workshop, the other is compound metallurgy workshop. compoundmetallurgy workshop is divided into four more kinds. In other words(1) workshop with jewelry making; (2) workshop with jewelry making and lacquer product making；(3) workshop with product making; (4) workshop with 'Sueki' ware making. And more，from the viewpoint of the scale, it is divided into three more kinds， A) small-scale workshop，B) middle scale workshop，C) large-scale workshop.(1)是临时called 'traditional compound metallurgy workshop'，（3)是暂时called 'compound metallurgy (2)）workshop concerning "Rituryo"'，以及在七个世纪中被引用的latter half. the result that那些被引用的是C(2)tvpe shows the concrete aspect of an initial government operation workshop in the seventh centurylatter half. C(2) type developed from ctype and developed into C(2) type. It was the mass productionstyle in "Rituryo" system that brought the development from (1) type to C(2) type. in this process‘Ogata’ site(Osaka prefecture) played an important historical part. This fact is that it becameclear for the first time by this research. the method of mass production has two kinds. One is tocollect independent studios in many in one place. The other is to gather many blacksmiths in oneworkshop. And these blacksmiths did cooperation. In ancient time，The former made The subject and The latter was partly recognized. As above thisthis research cleared concretely the historical meaning realized to the formation of the Rituryosystem from the viewpoint of the metallurgical archeology。

By the analysis on fundamental structure of the ancient metallurgical workshopsfrom Kofun period to An-cient times, the following various points became clear. Ancient workshops are greatly classified in two kinds. One is metallurgy type of workshop and the other is compound metallurgy workshop. Compound metallurgy workshop is divided into four more kinds. In other words, (1) workshop with jewelry making, (2) workshop with jewelry making and lacquer product making, (3) workshop with product making, (4) workshop with 'Sueki' ware making. And more, from the viewpoint of the scale, it is divided into three more kinds, A) small-scale workshop, B) middle scale workshop, C) large-scale workshop. (1) is temporarily called 'traditional compound metallurgy workshop', and appeard at the former term of Kofun period. (2) ・ (3) is temporarily called 'compound metallurgy workshop concerning "Rituryo"', and appeard at the seventh century latter half. The result that these were examined is that C(2) tvpe shows the concrete aspect of an initial government operation workshop in the seventh century latter half. C(2) type developed from ctype and developed into C(2) type. It was the mass production style in "Rituryo" system that brought the development from (1) type to C(2) type. In this process 'Ogata' site(Osaka prefecture) played an important historical part. This fact is that it became clear for the first time by this research. The method of mass production has two kinds. One is to collect independent studios in many In one place. The other is to gather many blacksmiths in one workshop. And these blacksmiths did cooperation. In ancient time, The former made the subject and the latter was partly recognized. As above this, this research cleared concretely the historical meaning realized to the formation of the "Rituryo" system from the viewpoint of the metallurgical archeology.
