Outline of Final Research Achievements

The investigation of social structure during the Jomon period has been conducted based on the Archaeological research on the excavated human skeletal remains. However, the ages of skeletal remains were obscure, and precise estimates of ages were needed. Then, I have analyzed stable isotope ratios and radiocarbon dates of human skeletal remains from the Jomon period, Japan. The carbon isotope analysis on tooth enamels of human skeletal remains revealed the high dietary dependence on terrestrial food as well as marine food. The radiocarbon measurements of bone collagen revealed that the human skeletal remains belong to the Late-Final Jomon period.
