Research Areas
Archaeology
1) Research on Dynamics of Human Ecosystem in the East Asian Paleolithic
Using the Japanese archipelago as the primary field, this research focuses on elucidating diachronic change in the relationships between human foraging strategy, population dynamics, and paleo-environmental settings.
2) Application of Underwater Archaeological Methods in Paleolithic Archaeology
Research is conducted by employing underwater archaeological techniques to reconstruct seafloor topography, fauna, flora, and human culture in areas that were terrestrial during the Pleistocene (e.g., Seto Inland Sea region).
3) Non-Destructive Provenance Estimation of Stone Tools Using X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis
This research practices non-destructive provenance estimation of andesite, basalt, and other rocks used for stone tools during the Paleolithic period in the Seto Inland Sea region, based on chemical composition analysis through X-ray fluorescence.
4) Construction and Analysis of Three-Dimensional Models of Stone Tools
Developing three-dimensional models of stone tools from the Paleolithic to the Incipient Jomon period, this research explores the potential of stone tool morphological analysis through these models.
