The pottery production and supply system in Yayoi period : An approach from the remains left by the pottery-firing

本研究的目的是利用烧制陶器留下的遗迹来考察弥生时期的陶器生产和供应系统。弥生时代聚落出土的陶器烧制遗存有三种：第一种重要的遗存是用有盖的篝火烧制粘土；更重要的是烧制过程中的碎陶；其中最重要的是烧制过程中的破片。通过调查这些遗址的挖掘地点，我得到了以下结论：1)到目前为止，大量的论文认为绳纹和弥生陶器是由自给自足的定居系统制作的。但是，通过调查陶器烧制留下的残留物的分布，我可以得出这样的结论：弥生陶器是由几个定居点的劳动分工制作的。2)在弥生时代早期，仅在周围2公里范围内的村落群中发掘出一两个烧制陶器的遗址。而且，考虑到陶器是在烧制陶器的地方附近制作的，这一事实提供了强有力的证据，证明在弥生时代早期，在有限的范围内已经建立了劳动分工。3)陶器生产的主要单位是由几个家庭组成的聚落，在早期弥生时代的最后阶段，陶器生产的地点集中在周围2公里范围内的大型聚落。(4)中弥生时代后半期，陶器生产的指定地区保持着一个大聚落的一角，陶器生产在方圆2公里以内的局部范围内具有规模化和组织化的特点。5)上述工艺在日本西部弥生陶的生产中是有效的。

The purpose of this research is to consider the pottery prodution and supply system in Yayoi period using the remains left by the pottery-firing. There are three kinds of the remains left by the pottery-firing excavated in settlements during Yayoi period : The first important remain is firing of clay produced with covered bonfires ; Even more important is broken pottery in process of pottery-firing ; Most important of all is burst pieces in process of pottery-firing. By investigating where these remains excavate in settlement, I get the following :1) Until now, an explosion of paper argue Jomon and Yayoi Pottery were made by self-sufficient system in settlement. But, by investigating the distribution of the remains left by the pottery-firing, I can extract conclusions that Yayoi Pottery were made by division of labor in several settlements.2) In the Early Yayoi priod, the remains left by the pottery-firing are excavated in only one or two places in a group of villages settled within 2km around. And, considering that pottery made near the place of pottery-firing, this fact provides strong evidence that the division of labor within limited scope had established in the Early Yayoi priod.3) The primary unit of pottery production is a few households constituted a settlement, and in the final phase of the Early Yayoi priod, the place of pottery production is concentrated in a large settlement within 2km around.4) In the latter half of the Middle Yayoi priod, the specified district for pottery production keep a coner of a large settlement, and the pottery production is large-scale and organizing in the local range without 2km around.5) The above process is effective in the Yayoi pottery prodution in the west of Japan.
