The Jomon time frame is the soonest recorded time in Japanese history that started around 14500 BCE, going back to the Neolithic time frame in Europe and Asia, and finished around 300 BCE when the Yayoi time frame started.
Joma implies that 'cod marked' or 'patterned', which is originates from the style of earthenware made during that time. Although the entire period is called joman, the different phases can be identified based on the style and use of pottery.
Early Settlements
Those known today were formerly known as Japan, which arrived at the end of the last glacial period, or ice age, most likely following animal herds on land bridges built during the Ice Age. Huh. When the climate warmed and the land bridges disappeared, the Joman people soon found themselves on an island. After the animal herds were cut off from their home, the Jomon people used hunting and gathering to meet their needs. Their diet includes bears, pigs, fish, shellfish, yams, wild grapes, walnuts, chestnuts and acorns. Evidence of their diet was found inside middens, domestic waste disposal piles, and shell mounds that were found near villages.Starting around 5000 BCE, Joman developed a more sedentary lifestyle settling in the villages; The largest one at the time was around 100 acres (c. 0.4 km²) and about 500 people. Villages near the sea may have relied heavily on fishing, while further settlements mainly adopted the hunting lifestyle. In many villages, which are considered ceremonial stone platforms and storage pits have been found. The initial simple shelters of the villages would soon develop into a pithouge built around a central chimney, with a structure supported by pillars, which each housed about five people. Sovereign people will settle in different regions depending on the changing climate; The colder period requires proximity to the sea, as large mounds of shellers and fish bones suggest that the settlement pattern to take advantage of leguminous fruits and organisms further inland than in warmer climates. Shift shows.
With the change in habitat, the total population underwent significant fluctuations: the population would increase from 20,000 to 100,000 by 5000 BCE, only to move from 3000 BCE to 200,000 before falling to 100,000 by the end of the period. Although the life of the Joman people was somewhat sedentary, the agricultural revolution only coincided with the beginning of rice farming near the end of the Joman period. It was around 900 BCE when rice with advanced metal technology was brought to Japan in South Korea which is today Korea.
