| More than human bones of Yayoi Period were found at the Doigahama Remains in Yamaguchi. These human bones of Yayoi man that were found here give us some important data when we think of the change of the quality about Jomon man or the origin of Japanese. Matsushita Takayuki Director has been engaged in researching the visiting type Yayoi man for a long time such as the cooperative research with some Chinese researchers and the opening of the symposium centering on this Doigahama, too. The human bone, which was regarded as the one of the middle Jomon period, was found with some Jomon shards of earthenware at the Garumandou Archeo Cave Remains at Gushikami-son in Okinawa. A member of the Anthropology Museum centering on Matsushita Takayuki Director had charge of digging and researching it. Comparing these found human bones with the bones of the “Minatogawa man” called the roots of Japanese, the “Minatogawa man” was 153 centimeters tall and rather small, but these Jomon man was about 160 centimeters. Moreover, it can be known that the Southwest type Yayoi man connecting to the present Okinawan is short, so these Upper Jomon men was comparatively big. Furthermore, an armlet made of the Gohouragai was put on an arm of a human bone thought of as a shaman who was found at the Doigahama. There were only some Gohouragai at the islands in the south of Okinawa, so it can be understood that they had an active relation between Kitakyushu and some islands in the south from this time. It may be said that Okinawa is a major area when we think of the roots of Japanese and the ancient history in Japan including the relationship with the Yayoi man from the origin of Jomon man or Japanese that is very mysterious for us. | |
