Cold adaptation in Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers of eastern Eurasia Open
Previous genomic studies understanding the dispersal of Homo sapiens have suggested that present-day East Eurasians and Native Americans can trace their ancestry to migrations from Southeast Asia. However, ineluctable adaptations during th…

Limb segment proportions of prehistoric Jomon hunter-gatherers from fetal life to adolescence: comparison with four other chronological groups from Japan Open
Adult individuals from the Jomon period are known to have upper- and lower-limb skeletons characterized by relatively longer distal segments (radius and tibia) than their proximal counterparts (humerus and femur, respectively), in contrast…

Newly discovered <i>banjo-shuseki-bo</i> (square-shaped bone-pile burial) human bones from the Final Jomon Period Hobi shell-mound site, Aichi Prefecture, Japan Open
Banjo-shuseki-bo, unique accumulations of human bones among Jomon collective secondary burials, have been found intensively in the Final Jomon Period Mikawa region of Aichi Prefecture. At the Hobi shell-mound site in Tahara City (c. 3000–2…

Ritual tooth ablation in and dentometric assessment of a newly discovered collective burial at the Hobi shell-mound site, Aichi Prefecture, Japan Open
Ritual tooth ablation was a characteristic form of body expression for the prehistoric Jomon people. During the 2010–2013 excavation at the Hobi shell-mound site, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, a new case of secondary collective burial, banjo-sh…

A comparative analysis of fetal to adolescent limb segment proportions of prehistoric Jomon hunter-gatherers and modern Japanese Open
成人期縄文人の四肢プロポーションは,現代日本人と比べると,上肢では上腕骨に対して前腕骨が長く,下肢では大腿骨に対して下腿骨が長いことが知られている。本研究では,縄文人四肢骨のプロポーション特徴についてさらに理解を深めるため,胎生5ヶ月から19歳にわたる縄文人118体と現代日本人311体の主要四肢骨を用いて各種のプロポーション示数(上腕骨橈骨示数,大腿骨脛骨示数,肢間示数など)の集団比較を行った。その結果,(1)縄文人四肢骨の遠位分節が相対的に長いという特徴は,上肢・下肢とも…

A comparative analysis of fetal to subadult femoral midshaft bone distribution of prehistoric Jomon hunter-gatherers and modern Japanese Open
Adult Jomon femora are known to be more robust with mid-diaphyseal cross sections that are more elongated anteroposteriorly than in the modern Japanese. In the present study, we compared femoral midshaft cross-sectional geometric propertie…
