    本研究は、二つの相互に関連する目的をもつ。第一に、日本ではいまだ黎明期にある先住民族研究が、既存の学問領域（人類学、文化人類学、政治学、考古学、歴史学）、ならびに批判的社会運動との対話を通し、多様性を重んじる社会を形成するにあたり重要な役割を果たすという主張に理論的根拠を付与することである。（ここでは先住民族研究を先住民族による自らのための知と便宜的に捉えておく。）第二に、海外（とくに、アメリカ合衆国、カナダ、オーストラリア、ニュージーランドなど）では高等研究機関内に先住民族研究の拠点が存在し、既存の学問、ならびに批判的社会運動との連携も進行中であるが、この事実を念頭におき、それらの諸機関との間に知的交流の回路を形成し、その結果、日本における先住民族研究の存在意義を理論的に補強することである。
    一部の例外はあるものの、令和２(2020)年度はコロナ禍の影響を受け、上記、第二の目的である海外調査はほぼ不可能であったため、第一の目的の具体的根拠となる活動をおこなった。とくに、琉球人遺骨返還を求める批判的社会運動と学術との対話を促進した。対話の前提となる（遺骨返還に関する）共通認識を獲得するために、現地視察、聞き取りもおこなった。さらに、遺骨返還をテーマにした「対話」シンポジウムを二度開催した。さらに、アイヌ民族による批判的社会運動について、聞き取り調査をおこなった。また、理論形成を進めるため、科研代表者と分担者との間で、研究打ち合わせ会を全5回おこなった。令和２(2020)年度の活動から、当初は予想していなかった社会運動内部におけるジェンダーによる無意識の階層化についても、今後、検討を要するという提起がなされた。理論的課題として、アイヌ民族や琉球民族の存在を否定する側の論理と批判的社会運動との矛盾した関係について考察を深める必要があるという認識にも至った。

    事業初年度である2021年度は、6月12日に第1回の参画研究者による研究打ち合わせを行い年間の事業計画を審議した。
    研究計画において当初予定していた国際ワークショップは、新型コロナウィルス蔓延の影響を受けて、海外研究者を招へいしての単独のワークショップを開催することはできなかったが、2022年1月21日に研究代表者がダイレクターを兼務する北海道大学の先住民・文化的多様性グローバルステーションのキックオフシンポジウムにおいて、ルンド大学のPeter Jordan教授、オックスフォード大学のChris Gosden教授、アリゾナ大学のJoe Watkins教授による先住性概念についての講演をオンラインで聞く機会を設けることができた。
    同様に当初予定していた海外調査についても、新型コロナ蔓延の影響によって海外調査を実施することができなかったため、2年度目以降に実施することにして、調査を延期している。
    国内の調査についても南西諸島は、離島地域が多く、新型コロナ蔓延の期間に当該からグループで訪問し、調査を行うことには困難さが伴った。このような状況を踏まえて、国内調査については、研究代表者や研究分担者が個別にそれぞれ調査を行なっている。
    2022年3月30日に第２回の研究打ち合わせを参画研究者で開催し、事業2年度目にあたる2022年6月に「先住性」概念についてのワークショップを開催することを決めている。また研究成果としての書籍刊行についての編集方針についても検討を行った。

    The social trends of the demand for the return of burial remains, the demand for improved cultural presentation in museums, and the demand for language and cultural education, all of which are being addressed by indigenous peoples around the world, were investigated. The results revealed the reality that the world's indigenous movements, while using common communication tools such as ICT, globalization has never caused homogenization of the world, but rather has transmitted to the entire world historical reflections on respect for cultural diversity and uniqueness. It is clear that nation-states have a responsibility to support the global networking of indigenous peoples in their territories and to work toward cooperation and reconciliation between indigenous peoples and nations. It is necessary to incorporate indigenous studies into public education to ensure linguistic and cultural diversity.

    Mal’ta site in Baikal Siberia is a prominent site, where sculptures such as “Venus” and bird made from tusks of mammoth were excavated. Since 1928, excavation was conducted many times, but the excavated point and level of remains were often not clear. Japan-Russia joint research at Mal’ta site was conducted in 2013 and 2014, many identified samples ware obtained. In addition, samples for radiocarbon dating were taken at the National museum of History, the State Hermitage Museum and Irkutsk State University. Over 70 samples, mainly bone samples, including an infant bone and sculpture of Venus were dated and carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses were conducted for these samples. The important information about the geoarchaeological stratification and age of Mal’ta were obtained.

    The project pursued an indigenous people policy which fits in with the unique realities of the Ainu and Japan. It became clear that it's appropriate to revive ethnic culture of Ainu by placing the Ainu’s right to choose one’s ethnic identity on the article 13 of the Japanese Constitution and by imposing the obligation to realize the right on the government. Cultural revival is necessary to advance national understanding of the Ainu people and of a comprehensive policy to improve the social status of the Ainu. The cultural rehabilitation also is effective to increase young Ainu who tackle various issues for the improvement of their social status.

    This project resulted in construction of a global-scale database (NeanderDB), which documents more than 3200 Middle and Upper Paleolithic excavated sites across Africa and Eurasia dated to between 200 and 20 kya. A critical evaluation of the spatio-temporal contexts of the compiled data revealed regionally varied replacement and assimilation processes of the two populations, suggesting their possible co-existence and cultural interaction.
    The study also investigated potential differences in learning behaviors of the two populations in an effort to test the “learning hypothesis”. The results show that it is too simplistic to postulate innate cognitive differences as the single force accounting for replacement of the Neanderthals. The “learning hypothesis” proposed in 2009 now needs to be updated, taking into consideration non-innate social issues, including the population size and social organization, as important factors affecting learning behavior in the two population groups.

    The objective of our project in Fiscal 2007 was to establish a research information network linking archaeological research centers in Russia, China and Mongolia. At the beginning of the year, focal centers from each country were chosen and meetings were held to discuss server requirements for information exchange. In order for each institution to use software that could be easily installed and operated, it was decided to build an autonomous distributed network based on the Global Base developed by Professor Fujita's team at Toyo University.
    In Russia, the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Archaeology Institute of Irkutsk Technical University both agreed to set up the network server and concrete progress was made toward this end.
    In China, Jilin University initially proposed that it set up a server and a visit was made to this university to discuss this option. However, permission was not given to establish an open systems server and it was also found that Jilin University had financial problems with this project. As a result, it was decided to switch to Renmin University of China, located in Beijing. Global Base had already been set up at Beijing University for geographical research and our project developed in association with this institution.
    In Mongolia, the Archaeology Institute of the Academy of Sciences agreed to the proposal, but it was not possible to set up the network due to infrastructure and other problems.
    In October, a workshop was held at Renmin University of China. A presentation was made on the Global Base and discussions were held on progress in each country toward forming the research information network. Participants from Russia, China and Japan attended this workshop.

    本研究は、ロシア、中国、モンゴルを含む北東アジア地域各地の研究機関間をとりむすぶ情報ネットワークを構築し、汎北ユーラシア的レベルでの中世考古学情報ネットワークの構築を目指すものである。このネットワークの構築によって国家と言語を超えた歴史情報の共有のモデルを創成し、これまでの研究によって集成された人的・資料的資産をポストプロジェクト段階においてもスムーズに展開させることを目的としている。
    平成18年度の研究実績
    ・中国側の情報開放状況が、想定以上に厳しいことが判明した。北京は比較的可能であるが、地方とくに東北地域においては様々な政治的環境も影響し、情報を自由に公開することには障害が多き事を確認できた。上記の結果、サーバーの設置は北京に所在する中国人民大学において行うことになった。
    ・ロシアにおいては、一方、シベリア地域は現在、盛んにガスや石油のパイプラインの建設が進んでおり、シベリア東部からサハリンにかけては、膨大な考古情報が蓄積され、やはりロシア側においても海外を含めた研究機関と連携した情報ネットワークの構築がもとめられていることが明らかとなった。
    ・両国を含めて、北東アジア地域の若手研究者(大学院生クラス)の交流と育成への要請が強い。北東アジア地域は言語環境が多様であり、文献の流通も十分ではない。そのため本研究において推進するような学術情報ネットワークの構築は、若手研究者の育成においても必要不可欠である。

    In this research, we intended to establish archaeological chronology defined by calendar dates, using the AMS radiocarbon dating and calibrated dates based on Intcal 98 and Intcal 04.
    Dating samples were collected from various sites in Hokkaido.
    In National Museum of Japanese History, those samples were processed appropriately by AAA method.
    After that, radiocarbon dating of them were performed in some analysis organizations. Then, radiocarbon dates of them were calibrated in National Museum of Japanese History, and calendar dates of them were obtained.
    Consequently, following results were obtained
    1. In Hokkaido, the marine reservoir effects were identified by pottery adhesion carbon samples unearthed not only from coastal sites but also from inland sites.
    2. Therefore, plant residues are the most effective as samples of radiocarbon dating..
    3. The indicated ages were contained in the following times.
    First half of Epi-Jomon Culture BC 4th century-AD 2nd century
    Second half of Epi-Jomon Culture AD 2nd century-AD 4th century
    Middle period of Ohotsk Culture AD 5th century-AD 7th century
    Late period of Ohotsk Culture AD 6th century-AD 8th century
    Final period of Satsumon Culture AD 13th century
    Moreover, the conventional measurement result was collected and the radiocarbon dating database in Hokkaido was created.

    In this project, we conducted an archaeological excavation at the Usu-6 site, Date city, Hokkaido, and general survey and mapping of topography in the neighboring area. The project aims to assess the relationship between human adaptations and the changes of natural environment, especially the volcanic activities and sea-level changes in the area along the bay of volcano for the past 10,000 years.
    Our research provides the following results. First, the older age range of materials from the Usu-6 site places approximately similar chronological position of the Urahoro type potteries during the Initial Jomon, which dated between cal BC 6,240 and 6,080. This confirms that the Usu-6 site is one of the oldest known shell midden in Hokkaido. Second, we identify that the sector collapse of Mt. Usu, forming the hummocky hill located the Usu-6 site, is dated at least before cal BC 17,620〜17,480, although it was previously thought to be between 9,000 and 7,000 yrs BP. Third, the analysis of available faunal remains suggests that the Initial and Early Jomon peoples brought abundant oysters collecting at the shore reef into the Usu-6 site. After that, they heat-treated their oysters around the rock shelter No.2, and abandoned them around the adjoining rock shelter No.1. Finally, we reveal that rock shelters had been used intermittently as the location of temporary camps in hunting from the Late to Final Jomon.
