Reseña del editor:
A fully-illustrated introduction to the archaeology of the Jomon period in Japan, this book explores the complex relationships between Jomon people and their rich natural environment. From the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago to the appearance of rice agriculture around 400 BC, Jomon people subsisted by hunting, fishing and gathering; but abundant and predictable sources of wild food enabled Jomon people to live in large, relatively permanent settlements, and to develop an elaborate material culture.In this book Kobayashi and Kaner explore thematic issues in Jomon archaeology: the appearance of sedentism in the Japanese archipelago and the nature of Jomon settlements; the invention of pottery and the development and meaning of regional pottery styles; social and spiritual life; as well as the astronomical significance of causeway monuments and the conceptualisation of landscape in the Jomon period. These ideas are considered in the light of current work in the European Mesolithic and Neolithic, setting Jomon archaeology within a global context. The book draws extensively on new archaeological information from various parts of Japan, including the sites of Sannai Maruyama, Isedotai, Komankino among others. Extensive colour illustrations provide a vivid demonstration of Jomon ideology and creativity.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. v, 240 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), maps ; 25 cm. "Tatsuo Kobayashi's Jomon Reflections is based on a series of essays by the leading archaeologist of the Jomon period (c. 13,500 - c. 500 B.C.). The topics covered include the appearance and development of the remarkable Jomon pottery tradition, the nature of Jomon society, Jomon attitudes to the natural world, and the emergence of a complex set of world views expressed through objects such as clay figurines and monuments including stone circles and massive settings of wooden posts." "These essays are supplemented by observations on how the archaeology of Jomon Japan can be compared to that of prehistoric Europe. They also draw on ethnographic examples and concepts from later Japanese lifestyles. Kobayashi's intention is to bring the archaeology of the world of the Jomon alive for new audiences." CONTENTS: Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. The beginnings of the Jomon revolution -- Ch. 3. Speaking of Jomon pottery -- Ch. 4. The lands of Jomon Japan -- Ch. 5. Nurturing the Jomon : food, drink and the blessings of nature -- Ch. 6. Settlement and society -- Ch. 7. Investigating the spiritual realm -- Ch. 8. The mindscape of Jomon people.
