Due to the plethora of information on obsidian geochemistry for the Honshu and Kyushu islands of Japan, available mostly in Japanese only (Sugihara 2014), these regions are excluded from this overview; some English summaries have recently been published and can serve as primary data (see Tsutsumi 2010;Obata et al 2010;Ikeya 2014;2015;Sato, Yakushige 2014;Shiba 2014;Shimada 2014;Shimada et al 2017;Suda et al 2018b).…”

This overview is based on the results of 25+ years of provenance studies to identify the sources of high-quality volcanic glass (obsidian) in prehistoric cultural complexes of the far eastern and northeastern regions of Russia (Maritime Province, the Amur River basin, Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands, Kamchatka Peninsula, Chukotka region, the Kolyma River basin, and the High Arctic), as well as in adjacent parts of Northeast Asia (Hokkaido Island, the Korean Peninsula, and Manchuria). The extended networks of obsidian exchange in antiquity are reconstructed for the southern Russian Far East and Northeastern Siberia. A possible mechanism of long-distance obsidian exchange/trade in Northeastern Siberia is suggested.

“…Recently, databases that compiled all of the provenance data for more than 85,000 obsidian artifacts from Upper Paleolithic sites in the Chubu and the Kanto regions were published (Serizawa et al 2011;Tani et al 2013). The databases were used by Shimada et al (2017) to discuss human responses to climatic change in the exploitation of obsidian sources during the UP in the Shinshu area.…”

This paper presents archaeological research of the Early Upper Paleolithic in the Japanese Islands, introducing the findings of recent research there into early modern humans. The authors provide background to the natural environment of the Upper Paleolithic while offering an overview of research in the area. Five important research topics, related to behavioral modernity of early modern humans, will be described. Based on them, new information and perspectives about the behavioral patterns of early modern humans are discussed with a focus on the Mt. Ashitaka area.

“…Given these possible land connections, terrestrial human migrations are only achievable through route 2, the northern entry route from Far Eastern Russia to Hokkaido. The other five routes all require a certain level of seafaring navigation capability, which was clearly present in the region by the advent of the Late Paleolithic, as evidenced by obsidian transportation from the Pacific island of Kozu to Paleo-Honshu (Ikeya 2015;Shimada et al 2017;Tsutsumi 2010).…”

On the Pleistocene Population History in the Japanese Archipelago

This paper provides a current understanding of human population history in the Pleistocene Japanese Archipelago, particularly with respect to the routes and timing of hunter-gatherer migrations, by incorporating multiple lines of evidence from the records of archaeology, human paleontology, and genetic studies. The human fossil remains are concentrated on the Ryukyu Islands in southwestern Japan, suggesting that there may have been a northward migration via the Ryukyu Islands. In contrast, studies of ancient mitochondrial DNA demonstrate genetic continuity among Holocene hunter-gatherer populations in the Paleo-Sakhalin-Hokkaido-Kurile Peninsula, whereas the Pleistocene genetic history is little explored. Although it is largely supported, the assumed population continuity from the Pleistocene to the Holocene inside the Japanese Archipelago is also challenged by an examination of the Paleolithic record and a comparison of the short-and long-term chronologies of the Japanese Paleolithic, implying that the Japanese Paleolithic record was created by hunter-gatherer population migrations from the north and south with substantial time lag and endemic technological invention and transformation during the Late Pleistocene.
