  • The Reconstruction of Bengala Production Mainly in Kamegaoka Culture

抄録

Bengala (Red iron oxide) production in Jomon Period is understood as far as the crushing and grinding of materials into a powder. What is not understood well is the methods to produce fine and even particles.<BR>There were two methods to produce Bengala from limonite and hematite. Production with established methods partly began in the Upper Paleolithic period.<BR>At the site of Kamegaoka culture, from southern Hokkaido to northern Tohoku, many pieces of hematite were exca-vated. At the Utetsu site, 2, 300 pieces, about 65 kg, of hematite were excavated with many stone implements and pottery pieces with Bengala on their surface.<BR>For this article, I tried a factual reconstruction of Bengala production through analysis of documents related to red pigments and experiments involving pigment production at the Utetsu site.<BR>From the result, I solved the entire process of Bengala production. First, hematite is hit and broken into shalelike part and the part that is like coke. Next, only the coke-like part is crushed and ground. It is levigated with water. The red suspension produced after levigation is boiled and milled in the pottery.<BR>Bengala production by this boiling milling method can make fine and even powder, and it can produce large amounts easily.<BR>The development of the method like the one in this article must be related to increase of the red-colored remains limited to Kamegaoka culture.
