| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the emergence of Jomon culture in correlation with the Pleistocene-Holocene transition in Japan. In order to achieve this aim, we excavated peat bogs at the Unoki site in Tsunan area of Niigata prefecture and investigated the nature of changes in the local environment and patterns of human behavior during the Jomon period from an interdisciplinary perspective. We detected a series of five peat layers with abundant botanical remains from the Incipient to the Final Jomon periods along with supporting chronometric, geological and archaeological data. Based on these evidences, we hypothesize the typical location of the Incipient Jomon sites(clustered around river lowlands), the function of early potteries, and the patterns of land exploitation adopted by Jomon people, assessing at the same time their correlation to the concurrent changes in the environment.
