Recherche sur le thème des structures d'habitat enclos de la période de Yayoi (350BC à 300AD) et leur comparaison avec des sites similaires connus durant la Protohistoire en Europe, Université de Toyama Japon, Département d'archéologie.

C’est une étude exhaustive des sites d’habitat enclos datables de la Protohistoire du Japon (période de Yayoi 350BC à 300AD) découverts depuis les années 1960 sur tout l’archipel . Les sites sont analysés selon diverses approches: morphologique, cartographique et statistique. L’étude démontre l’importance de ces sites dans l’organisation territoriale, économique et politique des premiers États du Japon. Un chapitre important traite des similitudes qui existent entre les sites du Japon et ceux de l’Age du Fer en Europe

Summary :

Several hundred enclosed protohistorical settlements have been discovered in Japan since the 1950s. They date mainly from the Yayoi period (350 BC to 300 AD) and the early Kofun period (300 to 700 AD). These sites can be interpreted as the remains of rural settlements. In this volume the author develops a detailed analysis of these sites using his experience of the study of similar sites in south-western England and north-western France. Distribution maps drawn at a general, regional and local scale reveal the keys of territorial development during protohistory. The archaeological evidences found inside the enclosures allows various interpretations of the role of these communities in the society of Yayoi period. In situ architectural reconstitution of protohistorical building architecture suggests structural links with Japanese mediaeval classical architecture. The author also describes other protohistorical enclosed settlements in continental eastern Asia and this enlarges the general research. The work concludes with a detailed comparison of protohistorical enclosed settlements in Japan and north-western France and south-western England.
