Research Abstract

We may say that a Nukdo human skeletal series are similar to Japanese visit Yayoi period people in general. The development-of-symptoms part of dental caries is the same as that of Japanese Jomon period people or history time people, and there is much root caries. Moreover, the ancients bone considered to have suffered from tuberculosis is also found, and it is an important human bone for exploring the origin of the tuberculosis in the inside in East Asia. Although the form of tooth extraction is a future examination subject, it differs from a Jomon man's ritual tooth extraction form clearly. A Nukdo human skeletal remains are the oldest as an ancients bone as a group found from the present South Korean peninsula. It is thought that it can contribute to the elucidation of the Japanese origin by conducting further future investigation.
