Jomon Sites
The Jomon Sites are archaeological locations in Japan that date back to the Jomon period, which lasted from around 14,000 BCE to 300 BCE. These sites are known for their unique pottery, characterized by cord-marked designs, and evidence of early human settlement. The Jomon people were primarily hunter-gatherers, utilizing the rich natural resources of their environment.
Many Jomon sites, such as Sannai-Maruyama and Toya, have revealed important artifacts, including tools, figurines, and remnants of dwellings. These findings provide insight into the daily lives, culture, and social structures of the Jomon people, making them significant for understanding prehistoric Japan.
