The Archaeological Research on Modern Warfare

本考古研究的目的是探讨现代战争遗址的研究方法。在1997年的研究期间，我们首先选择了冲绳的海原町作为研究地点，收集了第二次世界大战期间野战设施和进展的记录。此外，我们还进行了实地调查，以确定用于第二外科医院洞穴的Haebaru地下陆军医院洞穴，并制作了地形图，从而确定了筑山日本陆军总部洞穴的计划位置。在1998年的研究期间，我们继续对Haebaru地下陆军医院洞穴进行实地调查。与此同时，我们对以前挖掘和收集的文物进行了分析。为了证实我们的研究，我们访问了山口县的津野岛，并对军事设施的分布和安排进行了实地调查。此外，我们还对衣架/杂志的内部结构进行了测量，并收集了许多其他有关军事设施的信息。在1999年的研究期间，我们进行了实地调查，以确定Haebaru地下日本艾米医院洞穴用于第一外科医院洞穴。与此同时，我们对现有的记录进行了分析，并提出了一份报告。从我们初步的考古实地研究结果和上述关于现代战争考古研究的研究方法中，我们了解到，有必要采取以下措施：第二次世界大战期间战场的各种资料的收集，2）战场现场的实地调查，3）测试坑和挖掘。

The aim of this archaeological study is to examine research methods of modern warfare sites.During the research period of 1997, we first selected Haebaru-cho, Okinawa, as research site and collected records of facilities and progresses of the field battles during World war II. We also carried out field survey to identify Haebaru Underground Japanese Army Hospital Caves used for the 2nd surgical hospital caves, and to make a topographical map which led us to identify planned sites of the Japanese Army Headquarters Cave in Tsukazan.During the research period of 1998, we continued field survey in Haebaru Underground Japanese Army Hospital Caves. At the same time we carried out analyses of artifacts that had been previously excavated and collected. In order to confirm our research we visited Tsuno Island, Yamaguchi and carried field survey of the distribution as well as arrangement of the military facilities. Furthermore, we carried out measurement of inside structure of hanger/magazine, Many other information concerning military facilities were also collected.During the research period of 1999, we carried out field survey to identify of Haebaru Underground Japanese Amy Hospital Caves used for the First surgical hospital caves. At the same time, we carried out analyses of the available records and made a report.From the results of our preliminary archaeological field research and research methods as to the Archaeological Research on Modern Warfare as mentioned above, we understand that it will be necessary as well as required to take the following: 1) collection of various information concerning battle field during World War II, 2) field survey of battle sites, 3) testing pits and the excavation.
