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..

3.	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..

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..

主要原著論文

1.	MIZOGUCHI, Koji, Making Sense of the Transformation of Religious Practices: A Critical Long-term Perspective from Pre- and Proto-historic Japan, Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 10.1017/S0959774321000366, 2021.06, This paper proposes a novel procedural framework for the archaeological study of the long-term transformation of religious practices by heuristically defining the religious in terms of their functional-effective elements. Thus, religious activities constitute a distinct communicative domain that responds to and processes the uncertainties and risks of the world. Drawing on this re-definition, this paper proposes a procedure comprising the following units of investigation: (A) what uncertainties and risks of the world were generated in and differentiated by a certain social formation; (B) how were they responded to and processed; and (C) how is the mode of the responding and processing changed as social formations are transformed? The applicability of this procedure is examined through a case study from the pre- and proto-historic periods of the Japanese archipelago. It is hoped that the framework reintroduces causally explanatory, comparative and long-term perspectives to the archaeological study of religious practices..
2.	MIZOGUCHI, Koji, Making Sense of Material Culture Transformation: A Critical Long-Term Perspective from Jomon- and Yayoi-Period Japan, Journal of World Prehistory, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10963-020-09138-0, 2020.03, [URL], This JWP Focus paper argues that material culture transformation can be understood as the transformation of the way human beings and material culture mutually open up their potentialities. Such opening up/becoming takes place in the domains of their encounter, which often take the form of human communications. In communication, human beings and material culture mutually mediate/intervene/transform their modes of existence as the former cope with various uncertainties and risks that the world generates and that communication differentiates. Drawing upon the theory of communication developed by the social systems theorist, Niklas Luhmann, the paper will elucidate and elaborate this perspective through an examination of the long-term transformation of the mode of such mutual opening up/becoming by human beings and the material culture of their potentialities that took place in the Jomon and the Yayoi periods of Japan between 13000 Cal BC and AD 250/300..
3.	Mizoguchi, Koji, Re-thinking the origin of agriculture through the‘beginnings’ in the Japanese archipelago, JAPANESE JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY, 6, 2, 95-107, 2019.03, The way in which we investigate the origin of something is largely determined by the way we intend to understand it. In the case of the origin of agriculture, the situation is further complicated by the tone of the investigation, which is not only determined by how we define and understand the set of human activities characterised and described as agriculture but also influenced by the way in which we define and understand those other beginnings we believe were causally linked to the development of agriculture, that are, the development of complexity, the beginning and spread of language and ethnic groups, and so on. The investigation of the beginning of agriculture in Japan offers us some good cases which show that the uncritical coupling of agriculture with those beginnings not only are erroneous but also hinder the development of nuanced approaches to human-plant/animal interactions and their impact on human society. This paper illustrates those problems by studying Jomon food procurement activities and proposes a way to overcome the problems by introducing the concept of the spatio-temporal organisation of social life and by linking hunting, gathering and farming practices to the spatio-temporal organisations of Jomon and Yayoi social life..

Understanding of the social strategies informing Shang mortuary practices is, however, very limited. A new reconstruction of the detailed chronology of the cemetery is presented here, allowing social theory to be applied, and reveals the strategic social decisions behind the placement of the tombs in relation to each other. The results of this analysis are important not only for the reconstruction of the social structure and organisation of the late Shang dynasty, but also for understanding the relationship between mortuary practices and the functioning of early states in other regions..

The process can most typically be observed in the transformation of the way people dwelled and buried the dead. In what follows, I trace that process in Japan and describe possible causes of significant changes punctuating the historical trajectory by focusing on settlement and mortuary evidence.1.

In this study of the Middle Yayoi jar-burial cemetery of Tateiwa-Hotta, however, the dynamic interrelationship between competing groups and successive generations can be discerned. Two initial burials proved to be foundational acts, followed by over 40 further burials spread over a series of generations. Differences in grave orientation and grave goods signalled the separate identities of the adjacent hamlets that came to bury their lineage leaders in this prominent location. Competition between lineages is indicated by externally acquired grave goods, including prestigious bronze mirrors from the Han commandery of Lelang in Korea, and by the varying styles of burial jar that illustrate and symbolise connections or alliances with other communities..

Koji MIZOGUCHI, THE FORMATION OF COMPLEX SOCIETIES AS SEEN FROM RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, European Association of Archaeologists Annual Meeting Kiel 2021, 2021.09, [URL], This paper investigates the formation of complex societies by examining what changes took place to ‘religious’ practices in the process. For that purpose, the religious is heuristically redefined in terms of their functional-effective elements thus: religious activities constitute a distinct communicative domain that responds to and processes the uncertainties and risks of the world. Drawing upon this re-definition, this paper adopts a procedure comprising the following units of investigation: A) what uncertainties and risks of the world were generated and differentiated in/by a certain social formation, B) how they were responded to and processed, and C) how the mode of the responding and processing changed as ‘social complexity’ developed? The pre- and proto-historic periods of the Japanese archipelago will be investigated as a case, and it will be revealed that the mode of religious practices changed as the spatio-temporal distribution of the sources of uncertainties and risks to be reacted to and processed changed. .

Koji Mizoguchi, What role can world archaeological organizations play in the condition of globalization and fragmentation , European Association of Archaeologists 24th Annual Meeting Barcelona 2018, 2018.09, This contribution argues that world archaeological organizations such as WAC can play a significant role as an arena for continued discourse in which both the clash of interests/different epistemic-ontological stances and cordiality as an absolute rule for being there are taken for granted. It is a truism to say, in the current condition of globalization and the proliferation of fragmentation in self-identification and epistemic-ontological frameworks, that everything archaeological is the subject of negotiation between stakeholders. That perception/increasingly shared recognition leads to the increased emphasis on managerialism in archaeological discourse on one hand and the avoidance of epistemically-ontologically informed dialogue as to how we can do archaeologies better. However, it is clear from our daily experiences that we have to tackle pressing contemporary issues with archaeological implications such as abusive utilizations of heritage for various harmful/discriminately causes in ethically and theoretically-informed manners. In that regard, we have to maintain and, if necessary, consciously create an arena in which epistemic-ontological disputes are not only tolerated but also encouraged without the fear of backlash. For that purpose, world archaeological organizations such as WAC and EAA can play a significant role because such organizations are ‘’meant to be’ highly inclusive and have established their shared images to be politically conscious and active. Some concrete examples of personal positive experiences that support the argument will be shared. .

Koji Mizoguchi, THE CENTRALIZATION AND HIERACHISATION OF INTER-COMMUNAL RELATIONS CONSTITUTED BY ISLAND TOPOGRAPHY: THE CASE OF JAPAN, European Association of Archaeologists, 2017.09, The topography and the distribution of watercourses of an island significantly constitutes the topological characteristics of emergent networks of interaction that lead to differential developments of the centrality of network nodes, resulting in inter-communal hiearchisation. By investigating the process of inter-polity hiearchisation that rapidly progressed during the Late Yayoi and the Early Kofun periods of Japan, the paper illustrates how the unique topography and the presence of an inland sea connecting the gateway communities of the Kyushu island and the Kinki region of the Honshu island of the Japanese archipelago resulted in the rapid development of inter-communal hierarchy without the significant uneven distribution of resources, differential developments of social complexity, or that of military powers..
