This paper attempts to illustrate an example in which the memory and the image of particular ancestors （probably lineage headpersons） were mobilised in mortuary ritual in order to create a specific social message. The example is drawn from jar burial No. 6 at location D in the cemetery site of Kuriyama. Jar burial No. 6 was located right next to jar burial No. 5 and on top of No. 8, both of which are regarded to be the burials of lineage headpersons or equivalents. It is inferred from typo -chronology of those jar coffins that temporal gap between the deposition of jar burials Nos. 5 and 8 and jar burial No. 6 would have been lengthy （possibly more than 100 years.）. Evidences suggest that the deposition of jar burial No. 6 at the location was deliberate, and it further suggests that mortuary ritual which was conducted on the deposition of jar burial No. 6 would have intended to mobilise the memory and the image of the dead buried in jar coffins Nos. 5 and 8, deposited a long time before. Given that the period when the deposition of jar burial no. 6 took place, the early late Yayoi period （c. 1st century AD）, was a period of turmoil in northeast Kyushu in which pre-existing inter-lineage ties were probably destroyed, the author contends that the mobilisation of ancestral memory and image in mortuary ritual would have been carried out in the hope of restoring／restructuring intra／inter-lineage ties and integration.
