The Archaeological Research on Modern Warfare

这项考古研究的目的是检验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海原町作为研究地点，收集了第二次世界大战期间野战的设施和进展记录。我们还进行了实地调查，确定了用于第2外科医院洞穴的Haebaru地下日本陆军医院洞穴，并制作了地形图，使我们确定了日本陆军总部洞穴在冢山的规划地点。在1998年的研究期间，我们继续在海原地下日军医院洞穴进行实地调查。与此同时，我们对之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Tsuno岛，对军事设施的分布和布置进行了实地调查。此外，我们还进行了衣架/弹夹内部结构的测量，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。同时，我们对现有的记录进行了分析，并提出了报告。从我们对上述现代战争考古研究的初步考古实地调查结果和研究方法来看，我们了解到有必要而且需要采取以下措施：1)收集第二次世界大战期间战场的各种资料，2)战场遗址的实地调查，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.
