Onga River Style Pottery

Japanese: 遠賀川式土器 - おんががわしきどき
Onga River Style Pottery

Another name for pottery from the early Yayoi period. It was found in an area extending from Kyushu to Nagoya on the Pacific coast and Tango Peninsula in Kyoto Prefecture on the Japan Sea coast, and it has been recently discovered that pottery was transported to areas further east, even reaching Aomori Prefecture. In the early days of Yayoi pottery research, only pottery without patterns was known from Kyushu, but pottery decorated with patterns was found on the riverbed of the Onga River in Tateyashiki, Mizumaki Town, Onga County, Fukuoka Prefecture. Yukio Kobayashi, who learned that the same type of pottery was found not only in northern Kyushu but also in Sanyo and Kinki, began to call it Onga River pottery or Onga River style pottery in 1932 (Showa 7), after the Tateyashiki ruins were also known as the Onga River ruins.

Japanese:

弥生(やよい)前期の土器の別称。九州地方から、太平洋沿岸では名古屋、日本海沿岸では京都府丹後(たんご)半島に及ぶ範囲に分布し、運ばれた土器としては以東の地域にも及び、青森県下にまでも達していたことが最近判明している。弥生土器研究の初期、九州地方では文様をもたない土器しか知られていなかったが、福岡県遠賀郡水巻(みずまき)町立屋敷(たてやしき)の遠賀川川床から文様で飾る土器がみいだされた。そして同種の土器が北部九州のみでなく、山陽、近畿に及んでいることを知った小林行雄は、立屋敷遺跡が遠賀川遺跡という別称をもっていたことにちなんで、1932年(昭和7)これを遠賀川土器あるいは遠賀川式土器の名でよび始めた。
