| Summary: | These 28 documents discuss the Yayoi who inhabited the Japanese archipelago from 2500 to 1500 B.P. Documents by Aikens and Higuchi, Hudson, and Pearson (Yayoi period) are general overviews. Eighteen selections from Ancient Japan (1992) are brief, illustrated discussions of a wide variety of artifacts. Included with these selections from Ancient Japan is a bibliography by Pearson. Three documents include the Yayoi in long range studies. Through the use of genetic data, Kazuro traces the origins of the Japanese from 20,000 B.P. to the present day. Tsukada uses pollen studies to examine the history of Japanese vegetation during the same time period. In the third long range study, Howells compares skull measurement data from 9,000 B.P. to the present to trace relatedness between Asian peoples. In The spread of rice agriculture, Barnes examines the advance rice agriculture in Japan from 3000 to 1700 B.P.; and in Protohistoric Yamato uses settlement patterns to trace the rise of state society. Hiroshi describes early Yayoi ceramics and the Doigahama cemetery, and then extrapolates population data from cemetery data. Kondo Yoshiro discusses how burial mound evidence indicates a continuation of burial characteristics from the Kofun to the Yayoi period.
