Und diese Gegend von Tokio, die Shinagawa, wo jeder, der auf dem Bullet-Train ist, wahrscheinlich von Shinagawa kommt, ist dort, wo der Bullet-Train zuerst in die Yamanote-Rennstrecke fängt, die die Kreislinie ist, die rund um Tokio läuft. Sie haben einen drei Kilometer langen Strecken des ursprünglichen U-Bahns gefunden, als Teil einer großen Wiederentwicklung dieser ganzen Gegend.

And I got a letter a couple of years ago from the president of the Japanese Archaeological Association saying, Dear Professor Kainer, we understand you're interested in Japanese archaeology. And so would you like to write to the Prime Minister of Japan and tell him how important it is that we preserve this incredible stretch of embankment?

And he said, well, we're sure that in the UK that's what you would do. So I had to write back and I said, well, I'm very happy to write to Prime Minister Suga, but please be aware that it is unlikely that in the UK we would preserve the whole lot. We might try and preserve a bit of it. But anyway, it made the then Prime Minister, Prime Minister Suga, had to go and visit the site.

And I believe there are still plans afoot for how much they can preserve underneath all the new developments that are going up.

Well, one of the things that's long intrigued me is the sequence in Japan is a bit different to what we're used to here in Europe. And I find that that means when I come back to Europe, I'm asking slightly different questions perhaps about what's going on here.

And the experience I have in Europe encourages some of our Japanese colleagues maybe to ask different questions to the ones they're normally asking over there. So the first human occupation that we know about in the Japanese archipelago is actually relatively recent. It's probably about 50,000 years ago. It's much longer occupation on the Asian mainland.

So in China, we know we've got ancestral hominids back to way over a million years ago. And in Korea, on the Korean peninsula, indeed, there are slightly controversial, but there are thought to be lower Paleolithic sites on the Korean peninsula as well.
