| Research Abstract |
1) Research excavation of the Usu-10 site, Date, Hokkaido
In the excavation, 18 burial pits of the Esan culture, Epi-Jomon period, and 3 burial pits of the Final Jomon period were discovered. Secondary burial after bone-washing, etc. existed in both periods, which is the first discovery of this in the Hokkaido area. In the human skeletal remains, ritual tooth ablation is seen. The people of each period wore bracelets, which were made of shells from the sea in the southern part of Japan or the Tropics.
From these results, we found that both the Jomon and Epi-Jomon Esan cultures in Hokkaido were considerably influenced by the Jomon and Yayoi cultures of Honshu, on the mainland of Japan.
2) Anthropological features of the human skeletal remains
The human skeletal remains of the Jomon period are similar to the Jomon skeletons from Honshu in morphology. The Epi-Jomon are closer to the Honshu Jomon and Hokkaido Ainu than to the immigrant Yayoi people through linear discriminant analysis. Because the upper facial index of the Epi-Jomon people was found to be as high as those of the Ainu, we suppose that the prehistoric people in Hokkaido began the transformation of their physical characteristics into those of the Ainu at that time.
