Abstract
We have investigated the following facts on the previous three papers : first, the places and the functions as well as characteristics of Daigoku-den, Chodo, Daian-den and Nan-en or Nan-in, in Heijo-kyu; then, the sites of Dairi, Chugu, Saigu and Yobaigu, which were the Emperor's residences in Heijo-kyu, and besides the characters of the supreme halls of such residences. In addition, we have discussed the mutual relations between Daigoku-den or Daian-den and the supreme halls of Dairi, Chugu and Saigu. Since the results obtained from the above studies, however, are based on the records, Shoku-nihongi, Nihonkiryaku, etc., it would be indispensable to compare them with the remains of Heijo-kyu. On this paper, Part 5, the results above have been tentatively collated with the architectural remains of Heijo Imperial Palace sites unearthed and surveyed by excavation.
