Outline Activities
I research the comparative study of state formation process in East Asia. And I research the origin of bronzes in China and the spread of early agriculture in North-Eastern Asia through the field work in China and Russian Far East. I also research cultural interaction of prehistoric times between southern Korea and northern Kyushu of Japan through the excavation at Iki or Tsushim Island. In this context, I have conducted field work in various parts of China, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and Japan. From 2008 to 2010 I led a Sino-Japanese joint excavation project concentrating on the stone-cist graves on the eastern rim of the Tibetan Plateau. At present, I’m involved in a new Mongolian-Japanese joint excavation project working on the Bronze Age stone-slab graves of Outer Mongolia.

1. Kazuo Miyamoto, Decarbonizing technique for casting iron to make wrought iron products in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi period, Archaeometallurgy, 25-30, 2020.05, Iron furnaces first appeared in western Japan at the end of the Middle Yayoi period, around the 1st century BC. At the same time, iron tools and weapons started to be produced in western Japan using iron raw materials imported from the continent. We discovered the first ever iron furnace that had been constructed on the surface with a clay wall and bellows at Karakami Site, Iki Island, Nagasaki Prefecture. At this site, flat iron and fragments of casting iron were found along with a large quantity of stone tools related to the site. Given the different structure of the furnace on the surface with the bellows along with the lack of iron slag and cut iron fragments, it is probable that this type of furnace was used for the production of wrought iron by decarbonizing from cast iron. This decarbonizing technique of making wrought iron from cast iron has been successfully demonstrated through experimental archeology. When comparing the forms of flat iron found in northern Kyushu during the Yayoi period, the same forms of flat iron are only found in the Itoshima area or lower Onga River area, but not in the Fukuoka Plains. In addition, pottery from the Itoshima area and lower Onga River area of the Middle Yayoi period is found at Karakami Site, although pottery from the Fukuoka Plains has not been found at this site through petrologic analysis. Therefore, it is believed that flat iron from wrought iron ingots produced by decarbonizing from cast iron in furnaces on the surface was exported from Karakami Site to the Itoshima area or the lower Ongagawa area. On the other hand, there was no trading of wrought iron ingots between Karakami Site of Iki Island and the Na area of the Fukuoka Plains..
