A three-dimensional quantitative study of social learning and ceramic style formation in Japanese prehistoric pottery makers

本研究旨在提供日本史前陶器社区人类学习策略与特质差异的量化量度。以往的国内外研究都没有使用复杂的统计方法或3D方法来准确地量化学习策略，而这正是本研究的目的。这项研究利用了R中新开发的几何形态统计程序包，以及新的3D技术。日本的弥生和古方时期正被与日本和其他国家的现代人种学证据进行比较，作为该项目的案例研究。

This study aims to provide quantifiable measures of the variable human learning strategies and idiosyncratic variance in prehistoric pottery communities in Japan. Previous international and domestic studies have not accurately quantified learning strategies using complex statistical or 3D methodology, which this study aims to achieve. The study utilizes a newly developed geometric morphometric statistical package in R, along with novel 3D technologies. The Yayoi and Kofun periods in Japan are being compared to modern ethnographic evidence in both Japan and other countries, serving as a case study for this project.
