Nimaibashi-style pottery has been established as one of the earliest potte:ty styles of the Yayoi culture in the northernmost region of Honshu Island, and its chronological position has been determined. Similar pottery groups of this style are also known to exist in the southwestern region of Hokkaido Island, which is located across the Tsugaru Strait. Many archaeologists have hesitated to identify these pottery groups as Nimaibashi-style pottery because such a judgment is equivalent to evaluating that the spatial spread of Yayoi culture extended to Hokkaido Island. The questions raised by these pottery groups located in temporal and spatial boundary areas go to the core of the fundamental questions in prehistoric pottery research, such as "What is a pottery style?"'' How can it be recognized?" and "How does it change?" In this paper, I use Nimaibashi-style pottery as an exmple to address these issues, and it is argued that the pottery style as a specific temporal and geographical unit is once broken up, and its constituent parts (Type) are reorganized into homogeneous temporal and spatial frames.
