In Japan, iron culture was transplanted from Korea, China and Southeast Asia. It is estimated that there are more than one hundred of historical iron artifacts in Japan. In Aichi prefecture, there exist eleven iron casting statues in the form of Jizo Buddha (Fig. 1,Table 1 and 2). Radiocarbon (^<14>C) dating was performed on one of the Jizo statues that was destroyed during the World-War-II, but partly remained of its quality for ^<14>C dating (Fig. 2), by using a Tandetron accelerator mass spectrometer(AMS) of the Dating and Materials research Center, Nagoya University. The iron used to manufacture those statues found in Aichi prefecture was produced from iron ore materials which were collected in the Aichi region, using a small furnace heated with charcoal. The source materials of the iron production in Aichi prefecture were certified by the analyses of chemical component (Table 3,Table 4). AMS ^<14>C dating was conducted also to a fragment of metal iron collected from the Kariyamato archeological site located on the foot of a high range of Komaki-city in Aichi prefecture (Fig. 3,Fig. 4), as well as to two shell fragments collected from the Usugaito remains at Taketoyo-cho, Chita-gun, Aichi prefecture (Fig. 5). The obtained ^<14>C ages (Table 5) were almost consistent with the typological chronology of earthenware fragments which were collected from the same horizons as the ^<14>C samples existed., 第10回名古屋大学タンデトロン加速器質量分析計シンポジウム(平成9 (1997)年度)報告 「最新型タンデトロン加速器質量分析計(加速器年代測定システム)による高精度・高分解能14C年代測定の利用分野・方法の開拓(II)」}, pages = {18--26}, title = {愛知県における古代製鉄と鉄器の年代}, volume = {9}, year = {1998} }
