Study for reconstruction of burial space in Kofun period prehistoric Japan veiwing from the structures, materials and colours of offered goods

我们开发了一种方法，用于重建和保存在非常脆弱的条件下发现的带有有机附件和覆盖物（如布，皮带和绳子等）的人工制品。首先，使用3D x射线扫描仪，我们掌握了人工制品的结构，包括在医学模型中保留的有机物品，我们直接从挖掘中的Shobuzako tumulus（一个未受干扰的5世纪墓丘）的石室中捡起它们。其次，我们在虚拟和物质上重建了这些文物和房间的原始状态，包括一个棺材，它们被放置在那里，身体已经崩溃了。然后在显微镜和三维扫描仪下分析了人工制品的材料、结构和制作工艺。

We developed the method for reconstruction and preservation of artefacts found in very fragile condition with organic attachments and coverings such as cloth, straps and strings etc. Firstly,using a 3D x-ray scanner,we grasped the structures of the artefacts including organic belongings remained in situ within medical casts by which we picked up them directly from a stone chamber of Shobuzako tumulus (a 5th century burial mound found undisturbed) under excavation. Secondly we reconstructed both virtually and materially the original states of those artefacts and the chamber including a coffin where they had been laid out with the body already collapsed. Thirdly we analysed the materials, structures and fabrication technologies of the artefacts under microscopes and again by the 3D scanner.
