Ethno-archaeological study about typical change and distribution of pottery

本研究的目的是通过对巴布亚新几内亚陶器制作的民族志研究，探讨影响陶器类型的年代变迁和地理分布的社会背景。 在陶器的变迁中，人的迁移和技术的扩散有很大的影响。 在地理分布上，我们可以解释，地方陶器类型起源于血缘关系网络和制陶技术的差异，从而有自己的本土分布。 另一方面，有一种特殊的仪式形式，它跨越了陶器类型的几个领域。 这种仪式导致了几种陶器类型的共存。 以绳纹陶器为例，我们可以比较粗陶器、细陶器和特殊粘土装饰品的分布。 从民族考古学的角度来看，亲属制度和仪式形式可以解释这种分布的背景。

The purpose of this study is to examine the social context which work chronological change and geographic distribution about pottery type through the ethnographic research about pottery making in Papua New Guinea. In the change of pottery, the transference of people and diffusion of technique have a great influence. In the geographic distribution, we can interpret that the local pottery types are originated from network of kinship and difference of techniques of pottery making, then they have own indigenous distribution. On the other hand, there is special ritual form which pass across the several areas of pottery types. Such ritual causes coexistence of several pottery types. In the light of Jomon pottery, we can compare with the distribution of coarse pottery, fine pottery, and special clay ornaments. From the ethno-archaeological viewpoint, we can interpret the kinship system and ritual form as context of such distribution.
