Our project is doing a large-scale multidisciplinary research on the replacement of Neanderthals by anatomically modern humans. [click]
The aim of the database project is to map and analyse the processes of the replacement in higher resolution than in the previous research. For this purpose, twelve Japanese archaeologists are collaborating to collect information on archaeological sites and lithic industries associated with the replacement. A client-server database, called Neander DB, was used for the data management. The project covers the entire regions of Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania between three hundred thousand years and twenty thousand years before present. This time range corresponds to Marine Isotope Stage eight to two.
ECNM requires a truly interdisciplinary research collaboration. Once the spatio-temporal framework of the research is determined, archaeologists retrieve relevant sites from the database. Geochronologists screen radiometric dating for the selected sites by means of statistic modelling. For this part, my colleague Takayuki’s poster will explain the detail at the poster session. In parallel, climatologists simulate surface air temperature and precipitation of the time period to be studied, using a super computer. For this part, Ayako will present the latest achievement of her team after my talk. Climatologists can also predict biome from these climatic outputs. In addition, geomorphologists prepare topographic models such as elevation and slope. Finally, I collect all these data mentioned to run an ECNM.

Bat is located in the interior of Oman, and known as the best-preserved oasis town and necropolis of the Bronze Age, or the third and second millennia BC, in the Southeast Arabian Peninsula. It was inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List with neighbouring archaeological sites of Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn in 1988. The American-Japanese Bat Archaeological Project (AJBAP) has carried out the field campaign since 2012, succeeding the American expedition.
