Download or read book Jomon Reflections written by Tatsuo Kobayashi and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Tatsuo Kobayashi is Professor of Archaeology at Kokugakuin University in Tokyo and Director of the Niigata Prefectural Museum of History. Simon Kraner is Assistant Director of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Prehistoric Figurines written by Timothy Insoll and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 1123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figurines dating from prehistory have been found across the world but have never before been considered globally. The Oxford Handbook of Prehistoric Figurines is the first book to offer a comparative survey of this kind, bringing together approaches from across the landscape of contemporary research into a definitive resource in the field. The volume is comprehensive, authoritative, and accessible, with dedicated and fully illustrated chapters covering figurines from the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia and the Pacific laid out by geographical location and written by the foremost scholars in figurine studies; wherever prehistoric figurines are found they have been expertly described and examined in relation to their subject matter, form, function, context, chronology, meaning, and interpretation. Specific themes that are discussed by contributors include, for example, theories of figurine interpretation, meaning in processes and contexts of figurine production, use, destruction and disposal, and the cognitive and social implications of representation. Chronologically, the coverage ranges from the Middle Palaeolithic through to areas and periods where an absence of historical sources renders figurines 'prehistoric' even though they might have been produced in the mid-2nd millennium AD, as in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. The result is a synthesis of invaluable insights into past thinking on the human body, gender, identity, and how the figurines might have been used, either practically, ritually, or even playfully.

Book excerpt: This book is a catalog of UTUWA. It is a deep bowl of the ancient ceramics. The drawing listed inside is drawn from a photograph. Because I raised resolution as much as possible, you enlarge it and can display it. I pick conspicuous UTUWA of the characteristic and want to approach the mind of lived people even some in Jomon period. ”Form” of JOMON has delicacy and gorgeousness, and I watch amazing harmony there again. In such a case, I watch there the longing and enthusiasm of artists. And I feel even his high mind. About a PDF file I confessed it, and I tried the registration of the epub file many times to publish this book, but was not able to carry it out. Therefore I decided to register as pdf file. I was not able to use the hyperlink function with pdf file. A table of contents and an index and the expression of the website do not open. About the English sentence of this book I who was the author of this book translated a Japanese sentence into an English sentence by oneself. However, the power to control my English is very insufficient. Therefore I used translation software in the publication of this book. As a result, I think that a sentence of this book is the strange sentence that it is hard to read. The motif of this book is very important to me. I want to share it with many people. Therefore I was a strange sentence, but decided to publish this English book daringly. I feel sorry for the person who was supposed to read this book by chance. And I thank such a reader very much.

Download or read book Japanese Prehistory written by Nelly Naumann and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2000 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing literature on Japanese prehistory is mostly focussed on describing material culture; this new study surveys the early artifacts and shows that they were either neglected in previous studies or reported of by unfounded and fantastic speculation. The author identifies prehistoric ideas concerning hunting and fishing, the cult of the dead, and the after-life. The cosmological implications of burial topography and stone-circles are as well examined as older written texts from other parts of the world aiding in elucidating the symbols recognized on these remains. This helps to link the Jo-mon materials to other remains of similar or older age from the ancient Near East, China, the Pacific, and ancient America and proves that prehistoric Japan was never really isolated from the rest of the world. Although the method developed in this study, which rejects speculation and bases itself entirely on archaeological remains, permits only the elucidation of a part of the rich spiritual culture of prehistoric Japan; it reveals an abundance of new information concerning the most important religious ideas of mankind: the constant renewal of life, and the belief that death is not the ultimate end.
