“…The results indicate that the processing of aquatic resources dominates vessel function across all occupation phases, while there is no evidence that the vessels were used to process plant resources or terrestrial game. This use of pottery primarily for the processing of aquatic resources appears to form part of a wider Jōmon phenomenon noted across Japan, with other foods such as nuts and game probably cooked in different ways (Robson et al 2020). Following K-Ah, pottery from Tanegashima was still used to process brackish and freshwater fish, but there is no evidence for the continued cooking of marine resources (Figure 9a & b).…”

Archaeologists have traditionally framed the impacts of natural disasters in terms of societal collapse versus cultural resilience. The 7.3ka cal BP Kikai-Akahoya (K-Ah) ‘super-eruption’ in south-western Japan was among the largest volcanic events of the Holocene. Here, the authors deploy a multi-proxy approach to examine how K-Ah devastated Tanegashima Island. While local Jōmon populations were annihilated, surrounding communities survived and eventually returned, adjusting their subsistence base to survive in the damaged environment. The article concludes that neither ‘collapse’ nor ‘resilience’ fully capture the complex dynamics of this process and that more research is needed to understand how disasters shape cultural trajectories.

“…Most studies of early pottery expansions avoid overt reference to demic diffusion, highlighting instead the likely role of knowledge transmission via open social networks, often combined with generalized exogamy (Jordan et al, 2016), though there are occasional exceptions, including the brief Late Glacial appearance of pottery into Hokkaido, which is assumed to reflect some kind of small-scale migration from northern Honshu (Fukuda et al, 2022;Robson et al, 2020). However, this assumption increasingly sits at odds with the expanding field of aDNA research, showcasing the frequency of wide-scale and often abrupt population movements, displacements and admixtures throughout human prehistory.…”

“…I anticipate that my methodology provides a framework for future research to identify the drivers of technological change in diverse regions or time periods such as the appearance and spread of pottery in Jomon period, Japan (e.g. Morisaki, 2022;Robson et al, 2020).…”

This is my PhD dissertation. In this research, I explore the technological transition from the Early to Late Paleolithic in Korea represented by the appearance of stemmed points through evolutionary concepts including human behavioral ecology (HBE) and cultural transmission (CT). I also examined differentlikely uses of stemmed points by measuring tip cross-sectional area (TCSA). The previous studies have primarily discussed the origin and route of stemmed points and blades while my research focuses more on related human behaviors and decision-making processes. I raised three questions to address cultural and environmental roles in the technological transition: what changes in foragers’ landscape use and mobility were associated with the introduction of new tools? What were stemmed points used for? And what was the dominant mode of cultural transmission during the time of technological innovation in the Korean Late Paleolithic? My approach to answer these questions is combined with traditional theoretical frameworks and novel methods for testing hypotheses.
