Abstract

Jomon is the Neolithic epoch on the Japanese Islands. It is dated between 13800–2400 BP and is divided into six periods. During the first period – Incipient Jomon (13800–10000 BP) – along with the appearance of the most ancient pottery the significant changes in the stone tool-kit took place; the Paleolithic blade and microblade techniques disappeared; hunting weapon modified with the wide utilization of bows and arrows; bifacial points evolved; a number of wood-working tools, including the instruments with ground edge appeared. At the same time there appeared local peculiarities of stone assemblages which are visible between northern and southern, inland and coastal parts of the archipelago. Lithic experimental researches help to figure out the specific of the various techniques and labor expenditures during the wood-working tools making and the efficiency of their use. By the end of this period (about 10000 BP) the stone tool-kit acquired features that are characteristic of the entire subsequent Jomon epoch.
