1. Koji MIZOGUCHI, 'The Communicative-Cognitive Mode of Existence and Material Differences: An Archaeological-Theoretical Perspective' In The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Archaeology (eds. by T. Wynn, K. Overmann, and F. Cooldge), pp. C36S1–C36P88, Oxford University Press, https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780192895950.013.36, 2023.06, [URL], This chapter shows that the smallest and the most basic phenomenal unit of society is communication, where sociality is generated through the mutual coordination by those who interact/communicate their thoughts and acts. For communication as a system, human individuals and their mind/psychic systems constitute the environment of its reproduction. The material differences that can be recognized archaeologically are involved in and mediate the reproduction of the communication system. This means that material differences are linked with the operation of human cognitive systems through the mediation of communication systems and through the structural coupling of cognitive and communication systems. To solve the innate inaccessibility of the operation of cognitive systems, the concept of mode of existence is proposed. This is the mode in which the communication system and the mind/psychic system are structurally coupled: The communication system and the mind/psychic system mutually irritate each other and react to it in uniquely self-referential manners, respectively..
2. Mizoguchi, Koji Smith, Claire, Global Social Archaeologies: Making a Difference in a World of Strangers, Routledge, pp. 358, 2019.07, [URL], Global Social Archaeologies contributes to the active engagement of contemporary social archaeology through addressing issues such as postcolonialism, community heritage, and Indigenous rights. It addresses the major challenge of breaking down global divides, especially in relation to fundamental human rights, inequality, and inequities of wealth, power, and access to knowledge.
This authoritative volume, authored by the current and past presidents of the World Archaeological Congress, introduces readers to the various theoretical and methodological tools available for the investigation of the past. Taking into account the implications for contemporary societies, it offers a new framework for social archaeologies in a globalised world. By combining new data from their research with an innovative synthesis and analysis of leading research by others, the authors have developed fresh conceptualisations and understandings of archaeology as a social practice, and of the ways in which it simultaneously straddles the past, present, and future.
Exploring a range of case studies and enhanced by a wealth of illustrations, Global Social Archaeologies highlights a new approach to archaeology, one that places human rights at the core of archaeological theory and practice..

6. Koji MIZOGUCHI, The Archaeology of Japan: from the Earliest Rice Farming Villages to the Rise of the State, Cambridge University Press, pp. 1-371, 2013.11, [URL], This is the first book-length study of the Yayoi and Kofun periods of Japan (c.600 BC–AD 700), in which the introduction of rice paddy-field farming from the Korean peninsula ignited the rapid development of social complexity and hierarchy that culminated with the formation of the ancient Japanese state. The author traces the historical trajectory of the Yayoi and Kofun periods by employing cutting-edge sociological, anthropological and archaeological theories and methods. The book reveals a fascinating process through which sophisticated hunting-gathering communities in an archipelago on the eastern fringe of the Eurasian continent were transformed materially and symbolically into a state..

'Evolution of prestige good systems: an application of network analysis to the transformation of communication systems and their media', pp. 151-178), Oxford University Press, 2013.04, The paper argues that the systemic generation of differentlal centrality to individual units of social interaction resulted in the formation of large bodies of socio-political integration in ancient societies. The thesis is illustrated through the investigation of evidence from the Yayoi and Kofun periods of Japan by applying formal network analysis methods..
