The aim of this program is to clarify the appearance of botanical food utilization in Prehistoric Kyushu. Below is a collection of samples of edible plant seeds from Kyushu dated by AMS method and in association with pottery.
Initial Jomon : Quercus serrata, Quercus acutissima, Torreya nucifera
Early Jomon : Castanea sp., Quercus gilva, Quercus myrsinaefloria, Myrica rubra, Juglans Sieboldiana, Aesculus turbinate, Castanea crenata, prunus mume, Trapa natans
Middle Jomon : Shiiya Sieboldii, Shiiya cupidata, Cameria japonica, Pinusu sp.
Late Jomon : Prunus persica
Final Jomon : Oryza sativa japonica, Hordeum vulgare, Vigna angularis var. nipponensis
Initial Yayoi : Setaria italica, Phaseoluris angularis
Early Yayoi : Glicine Max
In South Kyushu, many nuts from deciduous trees were collected in the initial Jomon period, while those from evergreen trees are rarely observed. In the Early Jomon period, nuts from deciduous trees appear frequently and anywhere in sites of the coastal areas in Kyushu. From Middle Jomon period onward, the number of nuts from evergreen trees increases and constitutes the overwhelming part of the excavated sites. Cultigens such as rice and millets are introduced in Kyushu in the Late Jomon period.
