Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the burials of the late Jomon period in Kyushu, and examines the influence of the Korean Peninsula. But, even on Tsushima Island(対馬島), which had the most contact with the Korean Peninsula, the clear relationship couldn't pointed out. In the Jomon period, there were few exchanges related to spiritual sphere between Korea and Japan, so it is thought that the influence on the burials was small. However, it is necessary to continue to review the problem of stone covered burials(覆石葬) and shell bracelets. The Kogawashima (小川島) Shell midden Tomb No. 4 appears to have the pottery of the latest phase of Korean Neolithic, but it is assumed to be related to Tsushima Island. It is also possible to point out the possibility that pottery of the Korean Peninsula may have had a symbolic meaning to those traveling to and from the Islands around the Genkainada(玄界灘).
