But they're included in the Jomon Period, because part of the definition of the Jomon Period is when ceramic containers start to be made in Japan. And it's from then until the arrival of rice farming, which happens also quite late in the sequence compared with what's happening on the continent. And that happened sometime in the first millennium B.C.

Es muss einer der längsten Perioden sein, sicherlich in der Holocene, irgendwo im Welt. Aber natürlich sind das nur archäologische Konstrukte. Also, wer weiß, was es eigentlich bedeutet. Und in Wahrheit dauert es länger als 10.000 Jahre. Das klingt ein bisschen wie 10.000 Jahre für den Reich. Es ist tatsächlich ungefähr 14.000 oder 15.000 Jahre lang.

Aber es wird geteilt, japanische Archäologen teilen es in sechs Subperioden, von der Anfangsperiode bis zu den ersten, ersten, mittleren, späten und letzten Jomon-Perioden. Das macht es ein bisschen einfacher. Aber es gibt auch, japanische Archäologen sind phänomenal, wenn es sich um die Identifikation von verschiedenen Pottery-Stylen handelt.

Und für diese 15.000 Jahre kriegst du einige 70 große Pottery-Stylen, die vor allem verschiedene Formen von Kordmark-Dekorationen betreffen und einige 400 lokale Stylen. It's a bit of a headache for somebody coming in from the outside, because each of those styles is of course named after the type site where that type of pottery was discovered.

And the type site is usually a place name, which is very often written in some weird kanji, some weird Chinese character, which there's a lot of discussion about how you pronounce those, and it varies depending on where you are. So yes, there's a lot of diversity in the Jomon period and we tend to say that there's many different Jomon cultures.

But there are unifying themes and it's that use of pottery and in particular the use of court bar pottery that does seem to be a tradition that continues for that long period of time. A big question is how did the German live? Okay, that's a really great question. What were they all up to for that long period of time?

So, I like to think that they don't really fit into many of our categories that we're used to dealing with in European prehistory. So they are broad spectrum foragers, if you like. They seem to be exploiting the vast majority of wild resources that are available to them.
