Comprehensive research on Historic Ruins of the Hill behind Kawaharadera Temple in Asuka area: the Distinction of Kawaharadera Temple Considered from the Excavated Artifacts

本研究分为两部分。首先，对1974年川原寺后山遗址出土的文物组合进行了研究：（1）准确了解其类型和数量;（2）对其中的主要器物进行了测量。其次，我们于2010年进行了第二次考古发掘，以了解上述组合所发现的坑的形状，从而对粘土雕像的制作技术和包括礼拜用具在内的金属工具的使用等新的研究角度有了扩展的视野。我们在2012年的国际研讨会及其会议记录中简要报告了这些成就。最终研究报告将于2013年发表。

This research consists of two parts. First, we researched on the assemblage excavated from Historic ruins of the Hill behind Kawaharadera Temple in 1974 in the following ways: 1) exact understanding of their type and quantity, 2) measuring of main artifacts among them. Second, we conducted the second archaeological excavation in 2010 in order to comprehend the shape of the pit which the abovementioned assemblage had been found. As a result, we acquired expansible vision to the new research point of view on technique of making clay statuary and usage of metal implements including utensils for worship. We reported these achievements briefly by the international symposium and its proceedings in 2012. The final research report will be published in 2013.
