Japanese Archaeological Association

On 27th (Sun.), I presented our research poster at the Japanese Archaeological Association (URL: JAPANESE). I've got many suggestions and some research information about starch residue analyses. So my works will be improved in the near future.

I'm showing the following information about the Oumi Kaidzuka Kenkyukai. These presentation titles are very impressive for me, and so I'm writing here.
