“…(2018) have suggested that the production of these ceramics was associated with the intensified exploitation of aquatic resources and increasing sedentism at the beginning of the Holocene. To some degree, this scenario parallels Sato's (1992) hypothesis. Building on previous research concerning the significance of fishing in the appearance of sedentism (Watanabe 1972; Nishida 1984; Binford 1990), Sato (1992) proposed that the intensification of inland fishing from the Terminal Palaeolithic to the beginning of the Jomon period may have induced a seasonal sedentary lifestyle and broader spectrum resource exploitation.…”

“…Chronologically, the site clearly dates to immediately before the Late Glacial warming, suggesting that climatic amelioration cannot explain the emergence of dwelling features, or ‘huts’, and the earliest pottery. Instead, we suggest that intensified inland fishing in cold environments, prior to the Late Glacial warm period, led to sedentism and, probably, to the development of pottery—a hypothesis originally proposed by Sato (1992). Recent progress in isotope and organic residue analyses supports this archaeological evidence (Craig et al 2013; Kunikita et al .…”

“…While aforementioned recent research on the function of the earliest pottery therefore seems to support Sato's (1992) hypothesis about inland fishing, it should be re-examined in the light of new archaeological finds from the Maedakochi site in Tokyo. Maedakochi is ideal for the re-evaluation of Sato's hypothesis, as it has yielded numerous archaeological assemblages, including lithics, early pottery, charcoal and faunal remains—including abundant fish bones.…”

“…Several additional hypotheses concerning the transition to sedentism in Japan remain to be tested. In particular, Sato (1992) claimed that the intensification of Late Pleistocene inland fishing led to seasonal settling down at specific locations, which, in turn, led to more permanent sedentism. The subsequent confirmation of the existence of ‘ice-age’ (Late Pleistocene) pottery in Japan (Taniguchi & Kawaguchi 2001; Keally et al .…”

A method for expressing the hair form of Japanese head hair in the form of numerical data was investigated with regard to inter-individual comparisons, and the utility of the method was evaluated based on the screening of experimental evidential hair samples by cluster analysis.The four characteristics used for the quantiˆcation of hair form included a basic characteristic (5 categories), an additional characteristic (4 categories) and 2 peculiar morphologies (3 categories). The hair forms of Japanese head hair were expressed by 448 combinations of these 12 categories. In addition, two numerical features were used as numerical data related to hair form as follows; the length and number of curves facing an assumed straight-line drawn between the tip and root ends of a hair image copied on the paper. This numerical feature was newly designed for this study.For conˆrming the availability of hair form for a hair comparison, the interindividual comparison of Japanese males was investigated by a discrimination analysis using 13 variables, 11 values obtained by quantiˆcation and 2 numerical features. Head hairs from Japanese males were classiˆed with a high level of discrimination between 2 individuals based only on hair form. Since the screening of evidential hair samples was investigated by a cluster analysis using 13 variables, in an experimental model of 40 evidential hair samples derived as an extra hair sample from 8 individuals, hair samples from 8 individuals were successfully discriminated using a cluster analysis.It was conˆrmed that a morphological examination represents an important tool for use in forensic hair comparison and that hair form is indispensable for interpreting the similarity of morphological features between known control hairs and evidential hairs.

The mega-tsunami generated by the Great East Japan Earthquake on 11 March 2011 devastated coastal forests on the Pacific seaboard in northeastern Japan, mainly composed of Pinus thunbergii and P. densiflora. After the tsunami hit, decline and resulting death occurred in the remaining pine trees, which arouse concern about the availability of pine trees in restoring the devastated coastal forests, although the extent and factors of the tree decline were unclear. We monitored the decline and death of P. thunbergii and P. densiflora trees individually at the study plots set in six locations showing different types of tsunami damage for two years. During the monitoring period, mature P. thunbergii trees showed good survival, suggesting their resistance to the tsunami damage, unless they seemed to suffer from strong stress from shading before the disaster, physical damage by the tsunami or poor drainage condition of the soil. By contrast, P. densiflora was more vulnerable to seawater inundation. From those results, we could present aconcrete argument for the relevance of P. thunbergii for use in coastal plantations, as is historically approved in Japan, and the importance of securing drainage to make coastal forests more resistant to tsunami damage.
