Outline of Final Research Achievements

In FY2020, we conducted genetic analysis of Early Jomon human skeleton excavated from the Higashimyo Site, Saga, and determined the entire mitochondrial genome and part of the nuclear genome. In FY2021, we conducted genetic analysis of the Okhotsk Culture human skeleton excavated from the Hamanaka 2 site on Rebun Island, and determined the entire genome sequence. In FY2022, we analyzed the genome of a male chief human skeleton excavated from the Haizukayama burial mound in Kitakata city. This is the first report on the genome of Kofun period human skeleton in the Tohoku region.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この期間内におこなったゲノム分析は、縄文早期の九州、オホーツク文化人骨、東北地方古墳時代人、和歌山県の海岸洞窟の古墳時代人など、幅広い地域、時代をカバーする数多くの人骨についておこなわれ、文書や学会発表で公表されている。これらのデータは、日本列島人の成立過程を詳細に明らかにするために不可欠の知見であり、学術的・社会的に意義深いものと考えられる。
