Satsumon pottery

Japanese: 擦文土器 - さつもんどき

Iron Age pottery found in Hokkaido and the northern Tohoku region. It is named after the markings on the entire surface of the pottery. It is believed to have originated in the 8th to 9th century, when Hajiki pottery, brought by the Yamato Imperial Court during its northern advance in the Nara and Heian periods, came into contact with the indigenous Post-Jomon pottery. There are many relatively small jars, bowls, and high-footed pottery, and the patterns are mainly markings, parallel lines drawn with a sharp spatula, and cross lines, with some pasted-on patterns. The chronology is currently insufficient, and the final date is said to be from the Kamakura to Edo periods, but it is probably appropriate to consider it to be from the Kamakura period. Artifacts found include stone tools, bone and horn tools, metal tools, and spindle wheels, and the pit dwellings have hearths.

Japanese:

北海道，東北地方北部に分布する鉄器時代土器。器面全体に擦痕文がみられるのでこの名がある。発生は8～9世紀とされ，奈良・平安時代における大和朝廷の北進によってもたらされた土師器 (はじき) が土着の続縄文土器と接触したものと考えられる。比較的小型の甕，鉢，高坏形土器が多く，文様は擦痕文と，その上に鋭い篦で描いた平行線文，交差線文が主で，貼付文もある。その編年は現在のところ十分ではなく，終末年代も鎌倉～江戸時代説まであり，確定できないが，鎌倉時代と考えるのが妥当であろう。伴出遺物は，石器，骨角器，金属器，紡錘車などで，竪穴住居にはかまどがある。
