Jomon pottery sitting on a black turntable with a black background setup behind it. A camera and flash are connected to a studio stand and a laptop is showing a live view from the camera.

Got a chance to do a bit of #photogrammetry work with some Final Jomon period pottery 🏺 (~2000yrs ago) from the Sugisawa site in Shiga Prefecture using the big turntable last week. Was a nice refresher on how all the bits a pieces of the system connect together. #Japan #archaeology #Jomon #3D

One People, Two Bloodlines: What Ancient DNA Tells Us About the Jomon's Origins New mitogenome sequences from Jomon skeletons are rewriting the story of who first settled Japan — and how a single founding population fractured into two genetically distinct halves.

New ancient DNA from Jomon shell mounds in Chiba Prefecture challenges the long-standing two-migration theory. One founding population, genetic drift, and 10,000 years — enough to look like two. #Jomon #AncientDNA #HumanEvolution www.anthropology.net/p/one-people...

Lost Technology of Ancient Japan: 9,000-Year-Old Lacquer, World's Oldest Pottery, and Giant Six-Pillar Structures Decoded by Modern Science Japan's Jomon-era lacquerware dates back 9,000 years—the world's oldest. Its pottery reaches 16,000 years. The Sannai-Maruyama site's six-pillar structure reveals precision measurement at 4.2m intervals, while Tatara ironmaking produced ultra-pure steel still unmatched today. Discover how DNA analysis, LiDAR, and cutting-edge science are decoding ancient Japan's astonishing lost technologies.

🏺 Mind-blown: Japan has 9,000-year-old lacquerware & 16,000-year-old pottery—the OLDEST in the world. Ancient Jomon tech we STILL can't fully replicate.

3-D Lake Biwako scan reveals 10,000-year-old pottery vessel | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis OTSU—A nearly intact pottery vessel believed to be over 10,000 years old was discovered near the Tsuzuraozaki underwater ruins in Lake Biwako, the Shiga prefectural government said Nov. 25.

Recent underwater 3D scanning of the submerged Tsuzuraozaki lakebed site in Shiga prefecture captures images of a Jomon period pot that likely dates back to around 10,000 years ago. 🏺 #Japan #archaeology #3D #photogrammetry #Jomon

Ancient Jomon DNA reveals a lost East Asian lineage with the lowest Denisovan ancestry in the region

More information: archaeologymag.com/2025/11/jomo...

#archaeology #archeology #archaeologynews #Denisovan #jomon #humanevolution #anthropology

An early East Asian lineage with unexpectedly low Denisovan ancestry Yang et al. study Denisovan ancestry in ancient and present-day humans. In contrast to other East Asians, genomic comparisons suggest that the Jomon derived most of their ancestry from a deep lineage ...

JAPAN: “…ancient Japanese individuals from the Jomon period have the least Denisovan ancestry among individuals from Eastern Eurasia, providing evidence for an ancient East Asian lineage with little to no Denisovan ancestry.”

Black-and-white cartoon map of East Asia: silhouettes of archaic humans stand beneath a cloud with a tooth and a DNA helix that rains droplets toward Japan; a mesh sieve over the sea lets most drops fall away so only a few reach a seated Jomon hunter with spear beside cord-marked pottery and a dogū figurine, with a stilt house onshore—signaling minimal Denisovan ancestry in the Jomon.

New DNA study shows Japan’s ancient Jomon people had only trace Denisovan ancestry — suggesting limited contact with these extinct humans and refining how early East Asians spread and diversified. #AncientDNA #Jomon scientificinquirer.com/2025/10/29/d...

Former school, #Chitose Archaeological Operations Center greatly complemented the burial circles, with its rare local #Jomon artefacts, especially its exciting zoomorphic clay figurine (you must watch from many angles!), clay mask, and man clay figurine. Valuable during a #HistoryTour 👍🏻

All in all a great start to the trip and I was really greatful to be able to experience the site for the first time with my project partners! #archaeology #Jomon

Charred structural supports from an excavated pithouse displayed under the glass floor at the museum.

Experimental #archaeology revolving around pithouses has been a central focus at the site. Not only have hundreds of pithouse remains been uncovered, but the site also contains one of the only #Jomon period pithouses with preserved charred structural supports which are displayed at the museum. 🏺

View from inside of one of the reconstructed pithouses at the Goshono site

The first main stop was the Goshono Site in northern Iwate prefecture. It was my first time to the site & I was thoroughly impressed. It's a large scale Middle #Jomon site dating back ~4500-4000yrs ago. Despite still not being fully excavated, they've found evidence of over 800 pithouses so far. 🏺

A hectic work schedule has prevented me from having some time to reflect on a fantastic trip to visit some Northern #Jomon UNESCO sites I recently took with @b-thom.bsky.social & archaeologist Shaun Canute from the Cowichan Tribes as part of a collaborative research project we're starting. 🏺
