Jōmon period

In Japanese history, theJōmon period(縄 vănThời đại,Jōmon jidai)is the time betweenc. 14,000 and 300 BC,[1][2][3]during which Japan was inhabited by a diversehunter-gathererand early agriculturalist population united through a commonJōmon culture,which reached a considerable degree ofsedentismand cultural complexity. The name "cord-marked" was first applied by the American zoologist and orientalistEdward S. Morse,who discoveredsherdsofpotteryin 1877 and subsequently translated "straw-rope pattern" intoJapaneseasJōmon.[4]The pottery style characteristic of the first phases of Jōmon culture was decorated by impressing cords into the surface of wet clay and is generally accepted to be among the oldest in the world.[5]

The Jōmon period was rich in tools and jewelry made from bone, stone, shell and antler; pottery figurines and vessels; andlacquerware.[6][7][8][9]It is often compared topre-Columbian cultures of the North American Pacific Northwestand especially to theValdivia cultureinEcuadorbecause in these settings cultural complexity developed within a primarily hunting-gathering context with limited use ofhorticulture.[10][11][12][13]

Chronology

edit

The approximately 14,000-year Jōmon period is conventionally divided into several phases, progressively shorter:Incipient(13,750–8,500 BC),Initial(8,500–5,000),Early(5,000–3,520),Middle(3,520–2,470),Late(2,470–1,250), andFinal(1,250–500).[14]The fact that this entire period is given the same name by archaeologists should not be taken to mean that there was not considerable regional and temporal diversity; the time between the earliest Jōmon pottery and that of the more well-known Middle Jōmon period is about twice as long as the span separating the building of theGreat Pyramid of Gizafrom the 21st century.

Dating of the Jōmon sub-phases is based primarily upon ceramictypology,and to a lesser extentradiocarbon dating.

Recent findings have refined the final phase of the Jōmon period to 300 BC.[1][2][3]TheYayoi periodstarted between 500 and 300 BC according to radio-carbon evidence, while Yayoi styled pottery was found in a Jōmon site of northern Kyushu already in 800 BC.[15][16][17]

Pottery

The earliest pottery in Japan was made at or before the start of the Incipient Jōmon period. Small fragments, dated to14,500 BC,were found at theOdai Yamamoto I sitein 1998. Pottery of roughly the same age was subsequently found at other sites such as in Kamikuroiwa and theFukui cave.[18][19][20]

The firstJōmon potteryis characterized by the cord-marking that gives the period its name and has now been found in large numbers of sites.[21]The pottery of the period has been classified by archaeologists into some 70 styles, with many more local varieties of the styles.[4]The antiquity of Jōmon pottery was first identified after World War II, throughradiocarbon datingmethods.[7][a]The earliest vessels were mostly smallish round-bottomed bowls 10–50 cm high that are assumed to have been used for boiling food and, perhaps, storing it beforehand. They belonged tohunter-gatherersand the size of the vessels may have been limited by a need for portability. As later bowls increase in size, this is taken to be a sign of an increasingly settled pattern of living. These types continued to develop, with increasingly elaborate patterns of decoration, undulating rims, and flat bottoms so that they could stand on a surface.[22]

Spray style Jōmon pottery

The manufacture of pottery typically implies some form ofsedentary lifebecause pottery is heavy, bulky, and fragile and thus generally unsuitable forhunter-gatherers.However, this does not seem to have been the case with the first Jōmon people, who perhaps numbered20,000 individualsover the whole archipelago.[18]It seems that food sources were so abundant in the natural environment of the Japanese islands that they could support fairly large, semi-sedentary populations. The Jōmon people usedchipped stone tools,ground stonetools, traps, andbows,and were evidently skillful coastal and deep-water fishers.

edit
The Japanese archipelago, during the last glaciation in about 20,000 BC

Traces ofPaleolithicculture, mainly stone tools, occur in Japan from around30,000 BConwards.[2]The earliest "Incipient Jōmon" phase began while Japan was still linked to continental Asia as a narrow peninsula.[18]As the glaciers melted following the end of thelast glacial period(approximately12,000 BC), sea levels rose, separating the Japanese archipelago from the Asian mainland; the closest point (inKyushu) about 190 km (120 mi) from theKorean Peninsulais near enough to be intermittently influenced by continental developments, but far enough removed for the peoples of the Japanese islands to develop independently. The main connection between the Japanese archipelago and Mainland Asia was through the Korean Peninsula to Kyushu andHonshu.In addition,Luzon,Taiwan,Ryukyu,and Kyushu constitute a continuous chain of islands, connecting the Jōmon withSoutheast Asia,while Honshu,HokkaidoandSakhalinconnected the Jōmon withSiberia.

Within the archipelago, the vegetation was transformed by the end of the Ice Age. In southwestern Honshu,Shikoku,and Kyushu, broadleafevergreentrees dominated the forests, whereas broadleafdeciduoustrees and conifers were common in northeastern Honshu and southernHokkaido.Many native tree species, such asbeeches,buckeyes,chestnuts,andoaksproduced edible nuts and acorns. These provided substantial sources of food for both humans and animals.

In the northeast, the plentiful marine life carried south by theOyashio Current,especiallysalmon,was another major food source. Settlements along both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean subsisted on immense amounts of shellfish, leaving distinctivemiddens(mounds of discarded shells and other refuse) that are now prized sources of information for archaeologists. Other food sources meriting special mention includeSika deer,wild boar(with possible wild-pig management),[32]wild plants such asyam-like tubers, and freshwater fish. Supported by the highly productive deciduous forests and an abundance of seafood, the population was concentrated in Honshu and Kyushu, but Jōmon sites range from Hokkaido to theRyukyu Islands.Tigersonce existed in the Japanese archipelago, but they became extinct inprehistorictimes.[33]

Early Jōmon (5000–3520 BC)

edit

The Early Jōmon period saw an explosion in population, as indicated by the number of larger aggregated villages from this period.[14]This period occurred during theHolocene climatic optimum,when the local climate became warmer and more humid.[34]

Early agriculture

edit
Azuki bean cultivation was common in southern Jōmon period Japan and also in southern China andBhutan.

The degree to which horticulture orsmall-scale agriculturewas practiced by Jōmon people is debated. Currently, there is no scientific consensus to support a conceptualization of Jōmon period culture as onlyhunter-gatherer.[32]There is evidence to suggest thatarboriculturewas practiced in the form of tending groves of lacquer (Toxicodendron verniciflua) and nut (Castanea crenataandAesculus turbinata) producing trees,[35][36]as well assoybean,bottle gourd,hemp,Perilla,adzuki,among others. These characteristics place them somewhere in between hunting-gathering and agriculture.[32]

An apparently domesticated variety ofpeachappeared very early at Jōmon sites in 6700–6400 BP (4700–4400 BC).[37]This was already similar to modern cultivated forms. This domesticated type of peach was apparently brought into Japan from China. Nevertheless, in China, itself, this variety is currently attested only at a later date of 5300–4300 BP.[37]

Middle Jōmon (3520–2470 BC)

edit

Highly ornate potterydogūfigurines and vessels, such as the so-called "flame style" vessels, and lacquered wood objects remain from that time. Although the ornamentation of pottery increased over time, the ceramic fabric always remained quite coarse. During this timeMagatamastone beads make a transition from being a common jewelry item found in homes into serving as a grave good.[38]This is a period where there are large burial mounds and monuments.[14]

This period saw a rise in complexity in the design ofpit-houses,the most commonly used method of housing at the time,[39]with some even having paved stone floors.[40]A study in 2015 found that this form of dwelling continued up until theSatsumon culture.[41]Using archaeological data on pollen count, this phase is the warmest of all the phases.[42]By the end of this phase the warm climate starts to enter a cooling trend.[14]

Late and Final Jōmon (2470–500 BC)

edit

After1500 BC,theclimatecooled entering a stage ofneoglaciation,and populations seem to have contracted dramatically.[14]Comparatively few archaeological sites can be found after 1500 BC.

The Japanese chestnut,Castanea crenata,becomes essential, not only as a nut bearing tree, but also because it was extremely durable in wet conditions and became the most used timber for building houses during the Late Jōmon phase.[43]

During the Final Jōmon period, a slow shift was taking place in western Japan: steadily increasing contact with theKorean Peninsulaeventually led to the establishment of Korean-type settlements in western Kyushu, beginning around900 BC.The settlers brought with them new technologies such aswet rice farmingand bronze and iron metallurgy, as well as new pottery styles similar to those of theMumun pottery period.The settlements of these new arrivals seem to have coexisted with those of the Jōmon and Yayoi for around a thousand years.

Outside Hokkaido, the Final Jōmon is succeeded by a new farming culture, theYayoi(c. 300 BC – AD 300), named after an archaeological site near Tokyo.[7]

Within Hokkaido, the Jōmon is succeeded by theOkhotsk cultureandZoku-Jōmon(post-Jōmon) or Epi-Jōmon culture, which later replaced or merged with theSatsumon culturearound the 7th century.

Population decline

edit

At the end of the Jōmon period the local population declined sharply. Scientists suggest that this was possibly caused by food shortages and other environmental problems. They concluded that not all Jōmon groups suffered under these circumstances but the overall population declined.[44]Examining the remains of the people who lived throughout the Jōmon period, there is evidence that these deaths were not inflicted by warfare or violence on a large enough scale to cause these deaths.[45]

Foundation myths

edit

Theorigin mythsofJapanese civilizationextend back to periods now regarded as part of the Jōmon period, but they show little or no relation to the current archaeological understanding of Jōmon culture. The traditional founding date of the Japanese nation byEmperor Jimmuis February 11, 660 BC. That version of Japanese history, however, comes from the country's first written records, theKojikiand theNihon Shoki,dating from the 6th to the 8th centuries, after Japan had adoptedChinese characters(Go-on/Kan-on).[46]

Some elements of modern Japanese culture may date from the period and reflect the influences of a mingled migration from the northern Asian continent and the southern Pacific areas and the local Jōmon peoples. Among those elements are the precursors toShinto,marriage customs, architectural styles, and technological developments such aslacquerware,laminated bows called "yumi",and metalworking.

Origin and ethnogenesis

edit
Main article:Jōmon people
Forensic reconstruction from a localNiigataJōmon sample.

The relationship ofJōmon peopleto the modernJapanese(Yamato people),Ryukyuans,andAinuis not clear. Morphological studies of dental variation and genetic studies suggest that the Jōmon people were rather diverse, andmitochondrial DNAstudies indicate the Jōmon people were closely related to modern-day East Asians.[47][48]The contemporary Japanese people descended from a mixture of the various ancient hunter-gatherer tribes of the Jōmon period and theYayoirice-agriculturalists, and these two major ancestral groups came to Japan over different routes at different times.[49][50][51][52][53][54][55]

The modern-day Japanese population carries approximately 30%paternalancestry from the Jōmon. This is far higher than thematernalJōmon contribution of around 15%, andautosomalcontribution of 10% to the Japanese population. This imbalanced inheritance has been referred to as the "admixture paradox", and is thought to hold clues as to how the admixture between the Jōmon andYayoi culturestook place.[56]According toMitsuru Sakitanithe Jōmon people are an admixture of several Paleolithic populations. He suggests that Y-chromosome haplogroupsC1a1andD-M55are two of the Jōmon lineages.[57]The maternal haplogroupsM7a,N9b,andG1bhave been identified from ancient Jōmon specimens.[56]

According to study "Jōmon culture and the peopling of the Japanese archipelago"by Schmidt and Seguchi (2014), the prehistoric Jōmon people descended from diverse paleolithic populations with multiple migrations into Jōmon-period Japan. They concluded:"In this respect, the biological identity of the Jōmon is heterogeneous, and it may be indicative of diverse peoples who possibly belonged to a common culture, known as the Jōmon".[58]

A study by Lee and Hasegawa ofWaseda Universityconcluded that the Jōmon period population ofHokkaidoconsisted of two distinctive populations which later merged to form the proto-Ainu in northern Hokkaido. The Ainu language can be connected to an "Okhotskcomponent "which spread southwards. They further concluded that the" dual structure theory "regarding the population history of Japan must be revised and that the Jōmon people had more diversity than originally suggested.[59]

A 2015 study found specific genealleles,related to facial structure and features among some Ainu individuals, which largely descended from local Hokkaido Jōmon groups. These alleles are typically associated with Europeans but absent from other East Asians (including Japanese people), which suggests geneflow from a currently unidentified source population into the Jōmon period population ofHokkaido.Although these specific alleles can explain the unusual physical appearance of certain Ainu individuals, compared to other Northeast Asians, the exact origin of these alleles remains unknown.[60][61]Matsumura et. al (2019), however, states that these phenotypes were shared by prehistoric south Chinese and Southeast Asian peoples.[62]

Full genome analyses in 2020 and 2021 revealed further information regarding the origin of the Jōmon peoples. The genetic results suggest early admixture between different groups in Japan already during thePaleolithic,followed by constant geneflow from coastal East Asian groups, resulting in a heterogeneous population which then homogenized until the arrival of the Yayoi people. Geneflow fromNortheast Asiaduring the Jōmon period is associated with the C1a1 and C2 lineages, geneflow from theTibetan PlateauandSouthern Chinais associated with the D1a2a (previously D1b) and D1a1 (previously D1a) lineages. Geneflow from ancient Siberia into the northern Jōmon people of Hokkaido was also detected, with later geneflow from Hokkaido into parts of northern Honshu (Tohoku). The lineages K and F are suggested to have been presented during the early Jōmon period but got replaced by C and D. The analysis of a Jōmon sample (Ikawazu shell-mound,Tahara,Japan) and an ancient sample from the Tibetan Plateau (Chokhopani, China) found only partially shared ancestry, pointing towards a "positive genetic bottleneck" regarding the spread of haplogroup D from ancient "East Asian Highlanders" (related to modern dayTujia people,Yao people,andTibetans,as well asTripuri people). The genetic evidence suggests that an East Asian source population, near theHimalayan mountain range,contributed ancestry to the Jōmon period population of Japan, and less to ancient Southeast Asians. The authors concluded that this points to an inland migration through southern or central China towards Japan during the Paleolithic. Another ancestry component seem to have arrived fromSiberiainto Hokkaido.[63][64][65]Archeological and biological evidence link the southern Jōmon culture of Kyushu, Shikoku and parts of Honshu to cultures of southern China andNortheast India.A common culture, known as the "broadleafed evergreen forest culture", ranged from southwestern Japan through southern China towards Northeast India and southern Tibet, and was characterized by the cultivation ofAzuki beans.[66]

Some linguists suggest that the Japonic languages were already present within theJapanese archipelagoand coastal Korea, before the Yayoi period, and can be linked to one of theJōmon populationsof southwestern Japan, rather than the later Yayoi orKofunperiod rice-agriculturalists. Japonic-speakers then expanded during the Yayoi period, assimilating the newcomers, adopting rice-agriculture, and fusing mainland Asian technologies with local traditions.[67]

Vovin (2021) presented arguments for the presence ofAustronesian peopleswithin the Japanese archipelago during the Jōmon period, based on previous linguistic research and specific Austronesian vocabulary loaned into the core vocabulary of (Insular) Japanese. He suggests that Austronesian-speakers arrived in Japan during the Jōmon period and prior to the arrival ofYayoi periodmigrants, associated with the spread of Japonic languages. These Austronesian-speakers were subsequently assimilated into the Japanese ethnicity. Evidence for non-Ainuic, non-Austronesian, and non-Korean loanwords are found among Insular Japonic languages, and probably derived from unknown and extinct Jōmon languages.[68]

Cultural revival

edit

Modern public perception of Jōmon has gradually changed from primitive and obsolete to captivating:[69]

  • In the early 21st century, Jōmon cord marking style was revived and used on clothing, accessories, and tattoos. Archaeologist Jun Takayama has theorized that the patterns onDogūdepicted tattoos.
  • In the 1970s, a movement started to reproduce the ancient techniques of Jōmon-style ceramics. Contemporary Jōmon pottery is based on Jōmon-style ceramics and earthenware that has been replicated with ancient techniques, such as a bonfire.
  • The motifs of Jōmon artifacts are used as inspiration for vessels and origami, cookies, candies, notebooks, and neckties.
  • In 2018, a Jōmon exhibition at theTokyo National Museumsaw 350,000 visitors, 3.5 times more than expected.
  • Jōmon-style pit houses have been recreated in places such as the Jōmon Village Historic Garden.
  • Magazines such asJōmonzinecover the prehistoric period.

In contrast, the Jomon ancestry proportion of mitochondrial genomes is less certain because the frequency of M7a and N9b haplogroups in Jomon people are somewhat variable across the Japanese archipelago (Adachi et al., 2009). If we assumed that the proportion of M7a and N9b haplogroups in Jomon was around 70%, the mitochondrial Jomon ancestry would be around 15% in present-day Japanese individuals. The observed imbalance of Jomon ancestry among autosomal, Y-chromosomal, and mitochondrial genomes, which we refer to as the ‘admixture paradox’, seems confusing but worthwhile to study further to elucidate the process of admixture of Jomon and Yayoi genetic components."

  58. ^Schmidt; Seguchi (2014)."Jōmon culture and the peopling of the Japanese archipelago"(PDF).These results suggest a level of inter-regional heterogeneity not expected among Jomon groups. This observation is further substantiated by the studies of Kanzawa-Kiriyama et al. (2013) and Adachi et al. (2013). Kanzawa-Kiriyama et al. (2013) analysed craniometrics and extracted aDNA from museum samples that came from the Sanganji shell mound site in Fukushima Prefecture dated to the Final Jomon Period. They tested for regional differences and found the Tokoku Jomon (northern Honshu) were more similar to Hokkaido Jomon than to geographically adjacent Kanto Jomon (central Honshu).
    Adachi et al. (2013) described the craniometrics and aDNA sequence from a Jomon individual from Nagano (Yugora cave site) dated to the middle of the initial Jomon Period (7920–7795 cal BP). This individual carried ancestry, which is widely distributed among modern East Asians (Nohira et al. 2010; Umetsu et al. 2005) and resembled modern Northeast Asian comparison samples rather than geographical close Urawa Jomon sample.    {{cite web}}:CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

Together with the recent archaeological, biological and cultural evidence, our phylogeographic reconstruction of the Ainu language strongly suggests that the conventional dual-structure model must be refined to explain these new bodies of evidence. The case of the Ainu language origin we report here also contributes additional detail to the global pattern of language evolution, and our language phylogeny might also provide a basis for making further inferences about the cultural dynamics of the Ainu speakers [44,45].
