Abstract
Abstract. The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 is said to be a once-in-1000-year catastrophic quake. The Tsunami triggered by the earthquake destroyed broad coastal areas in northeast Japan. As recovery from the earthquake proceeds, the demand for new road construction, housing hill development, and residential construction is rapidly increasing. Culture plays a critical role in the district’s recovery. For that reason, before development, cultural properties in the corresponding districts must be urgently investigated. This is a must, although balancing cultural recovery with rapid economic recovery is no easy task. With this in mind, we have developed a new system focusing on speedy archaeological investigation and adequate documentation. The authors reexamined the existing investigation process to categorize tasks into two types: those that must be done only at archaeological sites (site A) and ones available at other places (site B). We then formulated a scheme where the tasks on both sites are performed simultaneously in parallel over the network. Experiments are ongoing. This presentation reports the process and issues of our research and development.
Highlights
In Japan, if a ground assigned as an archaeological site is to be changed, the site must be investigated before the change and an investigation report must be issued
To reconstruct the towns destroyed by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, new projects are increasing rapidly for transporting residences to hills or constructing roads
Archaeological investigation is needed before such reconstruction and there are not enough experts for the investigation
Summary
In Japan, if a ground assigned as an archaeological site is to be changed, the site must be investigated before the change and an investigation report must be issued. The local government with jurisdiction over archaeological sites has been handling the investigation and report issue. To reconstruct the towns destroyed by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, new projects are increasing rapidly for transporting residences to hills or constructing roads. In this situation, archaeological investigation is needed before such reconstruction and there are not enough experts for the investigation.
