“…More recently, an Incipient Jōmon phase in Hokkaidō was confirmed due to the excavations at the site of Taisho 3 (Iizuka, 2019:18, Yamahara, 2006 in the Tokachi Plain (Fig. 2), which yielded pottery in association with bifacial arrowheads (Fig.…”

“…Incipient Jōmon. The oldest pottery yielding archaeological sites in Japan date to ca. 16,000-14,000 cal BP, and include Odai Yamamoto in Northern Tohoku, which has yielded 46 plain pottery sherds in association with two shale arrowheads (Keally et al, 2004;Iizuka, 2019). The majority of early pottery sites, however, are located in Honshu and Kyushu, and coincide with a period of extreme cold; they form Taniguchi's Phase 1 (see Kaner and Taniguchi, 2017;Taniguchi, 2004).…”

The main subject of this article is to define the specific nature of the Palaeolithic-Neolithic transition in East Asia. A comparative analysis of regional East Asian data was run in order to achieve this. As a result, three dissimilar models of the Neolithic transition were distinguished: Meso-Neolithic, Subneolithic, and Neolithic proper. The first and last are similar to their counterparts in the western part of Eurasia, but the Subneolithic is unique for East Asia. Regarding chronology, two stages of Neolithic transition can be clearly recognized in this region. The new Subneolithic type of hunter-gatherer cultures occurred during the first stage around the Sea of Japan. At the second stage, the transition to food production started in central and north-central China. In between, there was a cultural, spatial and temporal gap splitting up the transitional process into two isolated episodes.

“…According to radiocarbon-based geochronology, pottery vessel technology first appeared in East Asia and Northeast Asia in the late Pleistocene [ 10 – 16 ]. Degrees of mobility have often been suggested as ranging between high residential mobility to decreased mobility in the context of a broadening diet (e.g., [ 12 , 17 – 19 ]). No systematic tests on mobility, however, have been done with ceramic assemblages from this period.…”

Late Pleistocene pottery production and exchange: Provenance studies of hunter-gatherer wares from southern Kyushu, Japan by neutron activation analysis

Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in East Asia adopted pottery, yet the ability to reconstruct circulation, mobility, and exchange has been hampered, in part, due to problematic regional geochronology. The driving forces behind pottery adoption is unclear. The purpose of this study is to test our results of the first systematic petrographic pottery sourcing from the pre-Younger Dryas by utilizing neutron activation analysis. We examine samples from the Sankauyama I site on Tanegashima Island, southern Japan, dating to the Incipient Jomon, ca. 14,000/13,500–12,800 cal BP, with a well-defined geochronology. Our NAA results corroborate with the petrographic study suggesting that pottery was mainly produced in-situ, but some vessels were transported long distances from another island. Changing from high mobility, sedentary Incipient Jomon foragers made pottery, occasionally investing in long-distance ceramic vessel transportation and exchange likely involving ocean crossing. This may be associated with a risk-buffering strategy in the context of rising sea levels and isolation of Tanegashima.
