The human occupation history of Southeast Asia (SEA) remains heavily debated. Current evidence suggests that SEA was occupied by Hòabìnhian hunter-gatherers until ~4000 years ago, when farming economies developed and expanded, restricting foraging groups to remote habitats. Some argue agricultural development indigenous; others favor the "two-layer" hypothesis posits a southward expansion farmers giving rise present-day Asian genetic diversity. By sequencing 26 ancient genomes (25 from SEA,...
Abstract Anatomically modern humans reached East Asia more than 40,000 years ago. However, key questions still remain unanswered with regard to the route(s) and number of wave(s) in dispersal into Eurasia. Ancient genomes at edge region may elucidate a detailed picture peopling Here, we analyze whole-genome sequence 2,500-year-old individual (IK002) from main-island Japan that is characterized typical Jomon culture. The phylogenetic analyses support multiple waves migration, IK002 forming...
Abstract Objectives Holocene hunter‐gatherers adapted to climatic and environmental changes over time. Carbon nitrogen stable isotope analysis of human skeletal remains from the Inariyama shell mound Final Jomon period have revealed large dietary variations in population. This study analyzed radiocarbon dates these individuals test temporal diet its relationship with tooth ablation. Materials Methods Twenty‐nine were included this study. Extracted bone collagen samples purified graphite....
Abstract Anatomical modern humans reached East Asia by >40,000 years ago (kya). However, key questions still remain elusive with regard to the route(s) and number of wave(s) in dispersal into Eurasia. Ancient genomes at edge Eurasia may shed light on detail picture peopling Here, we analyze whole-genome sequence a 2.5 kya individual (IK002) characterized typical Jomon culture that started Japanese archipelago >16 kya. The phylogenetic analyses support multiple waves migration, IK002...
Ritual tooth ablation was a characteristic form of body expression for the prehistoric Jomon people. During 2010–2013 excavation at Hobi shell-mound site, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, new case secondary collective burial, banjo-shuseki-bo, discovered, in which additional cases ritual were present human skeletal remains. Here we describe morphology and extraction status individual mandibles, assess interindividual relationships on basis crown diameter. Although certain degree kin relation...
ABSTRACT Previous genomic studies understanding the dispersal of Homo sapiens have suggested that present-day East Eurasians and Native Americans can trace their ancestry to migrations from Southeast Asia. However, ineluctable adaptations during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remain unclear. By analyzing 42 genomes up 30-fold coverage prehistoric hunter-gatherers, Jomon, we reveal descent Upper Paleolithic (UP) foragers who migrated isolated in Japanese archipelago Late Pleistocene. We provide...
Banjo-shuseki-bo, unique accumulations of human bones among Jomon collective secondary burials, have been found intensively in the Final Period Mikawa region Aichi Prefecture. At Hobi shell-mound site Tahara City (c. 3000–2400 BP), two cases banjo-shuseki-bo so far documented, referred to as Ichi-go-shuseki (Accumulation No. 1) and B-shuseki B). During 2010–2013 excavations at site, we discovered a new case (named Accumulation 2010) retrieved all (1331 samples). Here report anthropological...
Many human skeletal remains of the Late–Final Jomon period have been found in shell-mounds on Atsumi peninsula Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Several types burials found, such as mass burial and bone-gathering arranged like a square board (banjo-shuseki burial). In this study, strontium isotope analysis was performed to reveal meanings banjo-shuseki burials. The materials included 22 samples tooth enamel bones from Hobi shell-mound, 30 Ikawazu shell-mound. concentration calcium measured, were...
A draft whole genome sequence of a Jomon woman from the Ikawazu shell-mound site has been reported recently. The adult woman, IK002, was excavated with child, IK001. Because burial situation child located above adult, two individuals were thought to be mother–child relationship. In this study, we conducted target capture sequencing, and obtained 258-fold coverage complete mitochondrial (mt) Comparing mtDNA nucleotide sequences IK001 found these unambiguously different each other. Thus,...
Archaeological study of the social structure Jomon period has advanced through discoveries about relative positions graves, presence or absence therein accessories and grave goods, head orientations corpses, types tooth extraction, so on. In recent years, research using anthropological information—both physical biological—obtained from excavated human bones begun to elucidate structures that time. This approach is called bioarchaeology. analysis period, bioarchaeology three principal uses:...
In service design, a broad range of knowledge must be needed for designers. the actual field, however, design relies on designers' own knowledge, experiences, and intuition. To tackle this issue, authors have proposed basic policy to establish function embodiment base, in which sets its realization structure (entities delivery process) are collected. paper, catalogue, is used provide accumulated designer, proposed. Then, basis scheme, support system developed.
In Service Engineering, a service is represented as functional structure that satisfies customer requirements and these functions are realized by carriers. Entities carriers could be very diverse, since they include both physical products human resources. It therefore not easy for designers to design Authors have constructed the knowledge base provide function alternatives proposed method support with base. However it depends on designers' ability choose appropriate solution from several...
In Service Engineering, as service is represented with its functions and entities that are needed to realize the functions. When designing services, designers have consider mainly two types of entities, human physical products. Humans products their own features function carriers. Therefore, it necessary for design appropriate each a service. However, determine difficult novice without any supports. this paper, we develop matrix helps from view point differences in between
As manufacturers in Japan expand their business globally, product design method should be innovated. And also process for localization needs to established as well. This paper aims describe what is issues and problems taken package global an example. Firstly, the authors define that issue reduce costs such package, transportation storage. The breakdown problem common standard inappropriate each differs from products. So attempt take measures cases. Secondly, Thailand, specific education...
