Reconstruction of Paleovegetation from Opal Phytolith Assemblages at the Central Part ofDomeki-yatsu Site in Northern Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture
Get PDFStudies of several low marshland sites have elucidated the paleoenvironment and transition of human activities in the Kanto Plain as plant fossils tend to remain in the area. In this study, paleovegetation (with a focus on Gramineae from the final Jomon Period) was reconstructed from opal phytolith assemblages in sediments at the Domeki-yatsu site in the northern part of Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture. The stratigraphic features changed from woody to herbaceous peat with a sandy part. Radiocarbon dating of plant fossils from samples has revealed in previous research. Phytoliths were morphologically classified into 16 types, and mainly belonged to marshland herbaceous plants such as reed and rice. The bio-stratigraphical sequence was delimited from Zones I–III from the lower section. In Zone I, nezasa dwarf bamboo flourished on the forest floor in an alder and broad-leaved forest in the final Jomon period. In the following zone, the valley bottom became a marsh with grasses such as Miscanthus and Phragmites due to environmental changes caused by deforestation of swamp trees. Paddy cultivation is thought to have begun after the Late Yayoi Period, as Oryza sativa and lowland weeds, including Arthraxon hispidus, were found at the same location. From fos-sil composition, it was existed on a small scale. In Zone III, lowland rice cultivation intensified after the Kofun Period. However, nezasa dwarf bamboo remained largely restricted to the plateau area even after the environment of the valley floor had changed. The pattern of vegetation change of Gramineae at the site showed a similar trend to those in other low-land areas of the Kanto Plain.departmental bulletin pape

A Consideration on the Reform of ANSEI from the Economic and Fiscal View
Get PDFThe Reform of ANSEI was carried out from 1854 through 1860 by Masahiro ABE in the last years of the Edo period. This paper is particularly focuses on its economic and fiscal impact. The Reform of ANSEI was not effective norther sufficient for helping the governmentʼs finance which was already in jeopardy. I show some figures from government income by taxation during the reform, but the figures represent that the reform was not able to the governmentʼs economic loss. Such an exceeding government spending mostly due to military preparation against foreign powers finally put an end to the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate.departmental bulletin pape
