This article discussed about two controversial example in Japan to consider division of time and dating, which can be the most fundamental problems in archaeology. Those are, the problems about the early·middle paleolithic and the beginning date of Yayoi-period which posed from the AMS C-14 dating. About the former, I focused how it was going after the “hoax” and the time division. In the latter case, I suggest my own opinion make use of the ‘inscribed ware’ datas and cross-dating which are not based on the AMS while ensuring that there were no solid grounds in the dating up to that time. Lastly, the importance of outskirts datas around Japan in the East-northern Asia and their research tendencies were also insisted.
