Although archaeological studies always deal with the time-space attributes of artefacts, this by no means implies that the distribution phenomena are easily evaluated. This paper focuses on Late Palaeolithic society as seen in the site distribution pattern, with particular reference to the backed-blade industries of the Japanese archipelago.Research on the distribution system in backed-blade industries can be divided into three stages as follows:1). 1949 to the first half of the 1960s: emergence of the distribution area of a typologically interrelated group of backed-blades.2). The second half of the 1960s to the end of the decade: intensive analysis of one site or an industry with re-fitted stone materials, i. e., cores, flakes, and chips.3). Up to the first half of the 1970s: archaeological sites and geologic sources of obsidian are correlated with geologic source identification by the Fission track method.Discussions about palaeolithic settlements and society have been continued since the second half of the 1970s. This paper discusses and summarizes some important articles concerning palaeolithic societies or group relationships, and also elucidates the four basic distribution levels (A1, A2, A3, and B) for chorological phenomena in the backed-blade industries.
