| Research Abstract |
Bone histomorphological and palaeopathological research was carried out on ancient human remains from the Japanese Archipelago. (1) For the purpose of discrimination between human and nonhuman bones, microscopic observations and bone histomorphometry were performed for burnt bone fragments from the ancient Heian site in Aomori prefecture. The osteal remains were estimated to be cremated human bones, and as such indicated that the cremation custom existed in the northernmost part of Honshu in the ancient Heian period. (2) The frequencies of enamel hypoplasia of the Jomon skeletons were higher than those of the Yayoi skeletons. This result indicates that the relatively favorable health conditions in the early agricultural Yayoi period compared with the Neolithic Jomon age.
