Process of reburial rites in Yayoi period of protohistoric Japan

采用陶棺的重葬仪式是日本东部弥生时期特有的。一些考古学家根据重新埋葬地点的一些痕迹重建了这一过程。对这一主题的独特研究不仅是对坟墓的追寻，而且是对从定居中死亡到入葬的整个过程的重构。在这个项目中，采用了以下程序。(1)对新泻县安田镇乌马加里重葬遗址进行分析，并对丧葬过程进行重构。(2)通过对遗址的挖掘，得出乌马加里墓地附近山下县遗址为聚落的结论。(3)利用安田镇Rokunose遗址的研究数据，了解山野寺聚落与Oomagari墓地的关系。并对项目进行了总结。(1)山野寺遗址是弥生时代中期的一个小聚落，它的墓地肯定是乌马加里遗址。(2)从Oomagari墓地出土的薄片和夹子将成为与Yamanosita聚落联系在一起的关键文物。(3) Yamanosita定居点没有长期延续，居民迁移到下一个地区，并在Oomagari墓地再次进行了重新埋葬行为。但从现在开始，需要对剥落过程进行更详细的分析，以更具体地重建。

The reburial rites adopted pottery coffin is peculiar in Yayoi period of eastern Japan. Some archaeologists reconstructed the process from some traces in reburial sites. The unique study to the theme is not only to pursue thse grave, but also to reconstruct a whole process from death in settlement to bury into grave.In this project the following procedure was adopted.(1) To Analyse the Oomagari reburial site in Yasuda town, Niigata prefecture and to re consta funeral process.(2) To conclude the Yamanoshita site near Oomagari cemetery to be settlement from excaveting the site.(3) Applying the research data from the Rokunose site in Yasuda towm to understand relation between the Yamanosita settlement and the Oomagari cemetery.And a conclusion of the project is as follows.(1) The Yamanosita site is a small settlement dated the middle Yayoi period and its cemetery is surely the Oomagari site.(2) The flakes and clips excavated from the Oomagari cemetery will be the key artefacts link to Yamanosita settlement.(3) The Yamanosita settlement did not continue in long term and the habitant remove to next area and performed reburil acts again in the Oomagari cemetery.But from now on a more detail analysis to flaking process is needed to reconstruct more concletely.
