石器時代の住まいのカタチはどんなものだろうか？
こういう直接的な疑問に対して最新の考古・歴史学は探究が及んできている。
図版は千葉県墨古沢遺跡HPと国立歴史民俗博物館・先史展示パネルより。

移動採集生活、という漠然としたライフスタイルが石器時代の暮らしと
これまでの探究結果で示されてきたけれど、
ここでは34,000年前の「千葉県墨古沢遺跡・環状ブロック群」が展示。
以下、パネルに記載されたテキストを書き出してみる。
〜南北67m、東西60mの範囲で石器１万点が集中的に分布し、日本最大級。
サークル状に分布する石器・石屑の集中痕跡が各地で発見されてきて
「環状ブロック群」と呼ばれている。遊動生活を送る狩猟採集民が１箇所に集まった
大規模なムラ、キャンプの跡だったかもしれない。〜
〜大型動物を狩猟するためには複数の集団が集まった「狩りのムラ」という説や
季節的な遊動スケジュールの中で食料などさまざまな生活必需品を交換するために
集まったムラなど諸説があり実態はナゾである。〜
〜旧石器時代には「竪穴住居」は見つかっておらず、
移動可能なテント状の住居が主流だった。キャンプから数キロ圏内で食料を確保。
季節的に移動する動物や季節毎に変化する果樹などの資源に応じて
キャンプ場自体を移動させながら暮らしていた。〜

これまで定住は縄文以降であって石器時代に集落痕跡というのは
こうして実証的な解析結果が示されて初めてそのありようを知った。
人間というのは「人の間」と書くし、必ず類的に生きてきたのだと思いつつ、
縄文以前のライフスタイルは無明の闇の中にあった。
それがこういう遺跡発掘・研究の結果、あきらかになって来ている。
社会的相互扶助なく個人や家族単位程度で独立的に生存し続ける方が
たしかに「理不尽」だと気付かされる。
より大型の動物狩猟を考えれば協働した方が効率は飛躍的に高まるし
テント生活も寄り集まった方が危険への防衛力も高まる。
食糧確保・生産管理という共同体としてこれは「ムラ」と呼んでいいのではないか。
そしてこの時代の住居とはテントだろうし、その骨材は木材であり
面材としては大型動物の皮革だっただろうことが想定される。
より大型の動物ほど、利用可能な皮革は大きい。
展示では男性は狩猟を担当し、女性はその動物皮革を「なめす」仕事を担当していた。
出産育児という定点的役割主体の女性と、狩猟での戦闘行為を期待される男性
という役割分担は蓋然性が高いと思える。

このあとの縄文では主に居住域は海辺・水辺に寄っていく。
日本列島は海に囲まれている有利性があるので
より安定的な動物タンパク源確保策としてこのことはわかりやすい。
漁撈が主体になると食料獲得がより安定したので定住の社会基盤が整った。
そういう結果、大型動物皮革獲得があまり期待できなくなって
住居進化の面を考えると屋根面材は周辺の茅などの植物性素材に変化していった。
さらに定住になると、居住「性能向上」の工夫が始まって
安定した地熱利用が考えられ地面を掘り下げる竪穴に向かったのではないか。
そんな巨視的な「都市と住まいの流れ」が見晴らせるように思われた。

A 34,000 Year Old Mura? Ring Camp 37,000 Years of the Japanese Archipelago – 3]
Empirical analysis of a Stone Age settlement. Traces of existence of social mutual aid. People have lived analogously among people. …

What did Stone Age dwellings look like?
The latest archaeological and historical studies are exploring these direct questions.
Illustrations are from the website of the Sumikosawa Site, Chiba Prefecture, and the prehistoric exhibition panel at the National Museum of Japanese History.

Although the vague lifestyle of migratory gatherers has been shown to have been a Stone Age way of life, it is not clear how it could have been a prehistoric way of life.
The results of previous research have shown that this was the lifestyle of the Stone Age.
The “Sumikosawa Site, Chiba Prefecture, Circular Block Group” from 34,000 years ago is on display here.
The following is a written description of the text on the panel.
〜The site is one of the largest in Japan, with 10,000 stone tools concentrated in an area measuring 67 m from north to south and 60 m from east to west.
The traces of concentrated stone tools and stone garbage distributed in a circle shape have been found in various places, and are called the “Circle Block Group”.
These are called “Circle Block Groups. This may have been the site of a large village or camp where hunter-gatherers who led a nomadic life gathered in one place.
It may have been the remains of a large scale village or camp where hunter-gatherers engaged in a nomadic lifestyle gathered in one place. ~.
~The theory of “hunting villages” where multiple groups of people gathered to hunt large animals, or
to exchange various necessities of life such as food during the seasonal migratory schedule.
The actual situation is a mystery. 〜The actual situation is a mystery.
〜Pit dwellings were not found in the Paleolithic period.
The main type of dwelling was a tent-like structure that could be moved around. Food was secured within a few kilometers of the camp.
According to resources such as seasonally migrating animals and seasonally changing fruit trees
The campsite itself was moved to accommodate the seasonal movements of animals, fruit trees, and other resources. ~.

Until now, settlement has only been possible since the Jomon period, and traces of settlements in the Stone Age have not been documented.
I have never known the existence of such traces until the results of this empirical analysis were presented.
I have always thought that humans have always lived in a similar way, but I have never understood the pre-Jomon lifestyle.
However, the pre-Jomon lifestyle was in the darkness of obscurity.
This is becoming clear as a result of excavation and research of archaeological sites.
It is more “unreasonable” to continue to live independently as an individual or a family unit without social mutual support.
It is indeed “unreasonable” to continue to survive independently as an individual or family unit without social mutual support.
If we consider hunting larger animals, it is much more efficient to work together.
And in the case of living in tents, gathering together increases the ability to defend against danger.
As a community for securing food and managing production, this could be called a “mura” (village).
The housing of this period would have been tents, and the aggregate material would have been wood.
The aggregate material would have been wood, and the surface material would have been large animal hides.
The larger the animal, the more hides were available.
In the exhibit, men were in charge of hunting and women were in charge of “tanning” the animal hides.
The division of roles between women, who are expected to play a fixed role in childbirth and childcare, and men, who are expected to engage in combat activities in hunting, is a probable outcome.
The division of roles between women and men seems highly probable.

In the Jomon period that followed, the main residential areas moved closer to the seashore and waterfront.
The Japanese archipelago has the advantage of being surrounded by the sea
This is easy to understand as a measure to secure a more stable source of animal protein.
When fishing became the main occupation, food acquisition became more stable and the social foundation for settlement was established.
As a result, the acquisition of large animal hides is no longer expected.
In terms of housing evolution, roofing materials changed to vegetable materials such as thatch in the surrounding area.
In addition, as settlement progressed, people began to devise ways to “improve the performance” of their homes, and the use of stable geothermal heat became a possibility.
The use of stable geothermal heat may have led to the use of pit-type dugouts.
It seemed to me that we could see such a macroscopic “flow of cities and housing.

みなさまの会社事務所環境では、どんどん進化していくIT関係装置、
どのように管理されているでしょうか？
わが社では1.5坪ほどの平面に外部との通信接続装置と社内ネットワーク装置が
連結して同居しております。
そこからさらにハブやルーターが各室に装置されてネットワークを形成。
この中枢区画では一目瞭然にネットワーク環境がコントロール可能、
な、はずだった・・・。
ところがここに問題があったのですね。
この平面空間は実はもともと広大な「神棚」エリアだった箇所。
真ん中に神棚が鎮座して、その両側に全国を取材で歩きまわる際に
収集してきた「商売繁盛」の願掛けのシルシ、各地神社の神札が配置されていた。
ここにIT関係の装置を集中させるのは、情報企業としては
ある意味、象徴的でもあり受発信する情報が神さまのご加護を得られる（笑）
そんな潜在意識がどこかにあったように、いまは反省しています。・・・
まぁ大企業の中央管制のような大きな情報制御装置ではなく
進化してきたコンパクトな管制装置なので、
中小零細企業としてこれまで「積み上げ」対応でなんとかやってきていた。
そういうことまでコントロールするべきという意識がなかったともいえる。

ところが、感染症でのリモートワークの進展などで
最近の企業情報管制の高度化必須スピードはかなりのレベル。
上記のような牧歌的・神がかり的管制意識では齟齬が生ずる可能性がある。
各機器の動作確認や接続状況の一元的把握において
いろいろとトラブルが生じることも避けられなくなってきている。
そういった状況の中で、ありがたい神さま群がIT環境整備作業に対して
その場所性で困難を生じさせているのではないか。
自分で状況設定をしながら、恥ずかしながらこういうことに
つい失念していたことに気付かされてしまった次第。
「ありがたいが故にお願いしている業者さんも申し出にくかったか・・・」
複雑な配線接続環境構築に制約をもたらしてしまっていた可能性に対し
ようやくにして気付かされたということなのであります。
まことに経営者として恥ずべき事態だったと深く反省。
各制御機器のすべてにその内容を完全に把握することはできないけれど、
その置かれる環境については、まずコントロール・作業しやすいように
管理者としては十分な配慮をすべきでしょう。

ということで写真の神棚についてはわたしのデスク近くに移転願った。
上階も事務スペースなので上に「雲」という紙も張った。
全国の神々なのでこれまでの御恩に感謝しつつ、
謹んでご動座願って、その環境について遺漏無きを心がけ
整理整頓させていただいたことで、安寧の心も多少は得られた次第。
沖縄で購入してきたシーサーの狛犬さんは
今回の動座でその役目をはじめて担ってもらっている。
「なんでオマエはいままで気付かなかったんだ、あん？」と
柔和な表情で語りかけてくれている。十分反省して情報管理体制を
よりしっかりと構築して行きたいと願を掛けております。
家内安全、商売繁盛・・・。

Sorting between the Shinto altar and the central IT equipment environment
There is a possibility that the altar where the gods of the nation gather may have been a constraint on the maintenance of the IT control equipment group that lives in the same house. We deeply regretted this and respectfully requested that it be moved. For the safety of the family and prosperity of business. I am very happy and grateful for your kindness.

How do you manage the ever-evolving IT-related equipment in your company’s office environment?
How are they managed?
In our company, the external communication connection device and the internal network device are connected and cohabit
and internal network devices are all connected and living together on a single floor.
From there, hubs and routers are installed in each room to form a network.
In this central area, the network environment can be controlled at a glance.
It was supposed to be….
However, there was a problem here.
This flat space was originally a vast “Shinto altar” area.
In the center of the space is a Shinto altar, and on either side of the altar are the “business” wishes that I had collected during my travels around Japan for interviews.
On both sides of it, there were prayer cards for “prosperous business” that I had collected during my travels around the country, as well as sacred fuda from various Shinto shrines.
The concentration of IT-related equipment here is, in a sense, symbolic for an information company.
In a sense, it is symbolic of the fact that the information we receive and transmit will be blessed by the gods (laughs).
I now reflect on the fact that I had such a subconscious somewhere in my mind. I am now reflecting on it.
Well, it is not a big information control device like the central control system of a large corporation.
but a compact control device that has evolved.
As a small, medium, and micro company, we have been managing to “accumulate” the information.
It could be said that we had no awareness of the need to control such things.

However, with the development of remote work in the field of infectious diseases
Recently, however, the level of sophistication and essential speed of corporate information control is quite high.
The above idyllic and godlike control mindset may cause discrepancies.
In the operation check of each device and centralized grasp of the connection status
It is becoming inevitable that various troubles may occur in the operation check of each device and in the centralized grasp of the connection status.
In such a situation, the gods are thankful to us for our IT environment maintenance work.
In such a situation, the thankful gods may be causing difficulties in IT environment maintenance work due to its locality.
I am ashamed to admit that I had forgotten about these things while setting up the situation myself.
I am ashamed to say that I was oblivious to these things while I was setting up the situation.
I am grateful for your help, but I wonder if it was too difficult for the vendor to make an offer…”
I finally realized the possibility that I had brought restrictions to the construction of a complex wiring and connection environment.
I am ashamed to say this as a business manager.
As a business manager, I deeply regret this shameful situation.
Although it is impossible to fully understand the contents of all control devices, it is important to understand the environment in which they are placed.
However, as a manager, I should give sufficient consideration to the environment in which the equipment is placed so that it is easy to control and work in.
As a manager, I should give sufficient consideration to the environment in which they are placed so that they are easy to control and work in.

Therefore, I requested that the kamidana in the photo be moved to a place near my desk.
The upper floor is also an office space, so I put a piece of paper called “Kumo” on the top.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the gods of Japan for their kindness to me.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the gods of Japan for their past kindnesses, and I would like to make sure that there are no omissions in the environment.
I am grateful to all the deities throughout Japan for their kindness to us, and I hope that we have been able to gain some sense of peace and tranquility through the tidying up of the place.
The Shisa guardian dogs that we purchased in Okinawa
The Shisa guardian dogs that we purchased in Okinawa are playing their role for the first time at this Douza.
Why didn’t you notice it before, huh? and “Why didn’t you notice it before, huh?
He is talking to us with a soft expression on his face. I hope that we will reflect on this and build a stronger information management system.
I hope to build a stronger information management system.
I wish for the safety of my family and prosperity of my business.

昨日発表の通り、ブログの環境設定を改変中ですが、
そのさなかに「接続不安定」の事態も出来してなかなか多難であります（泣）。
完全に改変が完了するまでにはすこし時間がかかりそうです。
その間、ブログの表示に不具合があるかも知れません。
しかしそうは言っても、毎日更新というのは継続したい。
わたしのブログはスタッフから希望が寄せられて書き始めたのが、
「Posted on 8月 9th, 2005」という日付になっているので
いまから17年前ということになります。
本日まで6,257日、続けてきている。・・・計算は多少アバウト（笑）。
まぁ内容はともあれ（笑）凡人ができることはとにかく継続です。
多少の困難はあっても、書き続けることがライフワークかと思っています。
最後は「本日で死ぬ予定なので、ブログを終了します」と書くのもオツかも（笑）。
デジタル環境という人間社会の進化の結果で出現した世界。
ただ、そういう現実世界進化の以前にもユニークな表現があった。

青少年期に埴谷雄高さんの「死霊」という小説の読書体験があります。
ドストエフスキーの「悪霊」と対比させる作品であり
日本のいわゆる「戦後文学」世界で記念碑的と激賞された作品。
一時期ハマっていた学生運動時代に、よく内容は理解できないまま、
それでも一種の知識欲求が盛り上がって読み進めていた。
おかげでそれまでの大江健三郎の小説世界とは完全に訣別できた。・・・
そのなかで「死者の電話箱」という一章があって
死んでいく人間の脳細胞世界から、生きている人間と対話し続けるという
蠱惑的な表現世界に浸っていた時期があります。
そういう設定を作り上げる想像力に驚かされ、
まるで宇宙飛行士と地上管制との連絡対話のように思われた。
そこでは死は、脳細胞に対して「やってくる」という感覚で伝えられていた。
脳細胞としては自分自身では対処のしようが無く、
ただただ、連絡網が断ち切られる感覚として描写されていた。
やがて応答がなくなって、静寂の海が広がっていく展開だった記憶。
あの小説はいまから70年前くらいの作品でしたが、
デジタル社会の進展は、こんな世界もやがて実現して行く可能性がある。
言ってみれば「死の表現」というような広大な領域でしょうか。
小説という仮想世界のことではなく、現実世界のなかで
実際的な表現領域になっていく可能性がある。
そしてこれは多くの「一般人」に表現の世界が広がっている。
人間それぞれの多様な生き死にがアーカイブされていく・・・。

最近、調べていたらWEB上には「死んだ後の表現物について」という
デジタルアーカイブの方法なども示され始めている。
これまでの作家の領域が大きくビッグバンしているのだとも言える。
・・・いずれにせよ、継続こそが最大のパワーなんでしょうね。

Will the Digital Revolution Bring about a “Dead Man’s Phone Booth?”
In my youth, I had the experience of reading Yutaka Haniya’s “The Dead”. It was shocking to describe communication with the brain cells of the dead. Will today’s digital revolution also visualize various kinds of death? …

As announced yesterday, we are in the process of modifying the blog’s configuration.
However, we are having a hard time because of the “unstable connection” during the process (tears).
It will take some time before the modification is completely completed.
In the meantime, there may be some problems with the display of the blog.
But even so, I want to continue updating the blog every day.
I started writing my blog after receiving a request from a staff member.
The date of my blog is “Posted on August 9th, 2005,” which means it was 17 years ago.
That is 17 years ago.
I have continued for 6,257 days until today. …The calculation is a little out of the ordinary (laugh).
Well, regardless of the content (laugh), what an ordinary person can do is just to keep going.
Even if there are some difficulties, I think it is my life’s work to keep writing.
It might be nice to write, “I’m going to die today, so I’m going to quit blogging.
The world has emerged as a result of the evolution of human society in the form of the digital environment.
However, even before the evolution of the real world, there were unique expressions.

In my youth, I had the experience of reading a novel by Yutaka Hani called “The Deadly Ghosts.
It is a work that contrasts with Dostoevsky’s “Evil Spirits” and
This work was highly praised as monumental in the world of so-called “postwar literature” in Japan.
During the student movement, which I was into for a while, I read it without really understanding its contents.
I was still reading it with a kind of thirst for knowledge, even though I did not really understand its contents.
Thanks to this, I was able to completely break away from the world of Kenzaburo Oe’s novels up to that time. I was able to completely break away from the world of Kenzaburo Oe’s novels up to that point.
One of the chapters was titled “The Telephone Box of the Dead.
In one of his novels, there is a chapter titled “The Telephone Box of the Dead,” in which a dead person’s brain cells are continuously communicating with a living person.
There was a time when I was immersed in the fascinating world of expression.
I was amazed at the imagination that went into creating such a setting.
It seemed as if it were a liaison dialogue between astronauts and ground control.
There, death was communicated to the brain cells with a sense of “coming.
The brain cells had no way to deal with it on their own.
It was simply described as a sense of communication being cut off.
Eventually, there was no response, and I remember a sea of silence spreading.
That novel was written about 70 years ago.
The progress of the digital society may eventually bring about such a world.
In other words, it is a vast realm of “expression of death.
I am not talking about the virtual world of novels.
It has the potential to become an area of practical expression in the real world.
And this is a world of expression that extends to many “ordinary people.
The various lives and deaths of human beings are being archived.

Recently, I was researching the web and found that there is a website titled “About Expression after Death.
The method of digital archiving is beginning to be shown on the Web.
It can be said that the field of artists is undergoing a big bang.
… In any case, continuity is the greatest power, isn’t it?

Replan×TSUTAYA Ebetsu “Woodworking Event” to be held again this year
The experience of making things yourself sends a message of attachment to your living space. Creating a sense of community through living, making, and communicating. Replan×TSUTAYA

Yesterday, in the latest issue of Replan Hokkaido, we introduced the “KIECE Special.
Yesterday was a beautiful day, and the event was held at Ebetsu Tsutaya, a part of KIECE.
This was the first event held last year to bring together users, bookstores, and local construction companies.
This time, the event was expanded to include woodworking, hand-painting, games, and more.
This year’s event was more like a “festival” with woodworking, hand-painting, and games.
The event was a great success, with more parents and children participating than last year.
Three local construction companies participated in the event and taught woodworking to parents and children.
Three local construction companies participated in the event and taught parents and children the joy of making things out of wood by teaching them how to make things by hand.
The participants were able to receive wooden pot covers that they had made.
The parents and children who participated in the workshop were very serious about their work.
It was a beautiful space to have a piece of furniture in the house that was handmade by the participants themselves.
The memory that the children played a leading role in making the furniture will lead to their attachment to the house.
Sibling children, the younger one working with his older brother.
The younger brother was eager to leave even the smallest trace of his handiwork (laugh).
It was a heartwarming sight to see.
The children also tried their hand at sanding and painting the wooden coasters.
Their hard work was hot because they could receive the finished coasters.
In addition, at the garden corner of the exhibition hall, there was also a hand-painted craft and a Nordic mini game called “Moluk Mini Game.
In addition to the hand-painted crafts, a game called “Moluk Mini Game,” which originated in Scandinavia and Finland, was also held at the garden corner of the venue.
It is a kind of bowling game made of wood.
It is a very strategic game, and everyone was into it.

Ebetsu Tsutaya is a bookstore that blends in with nature in the surrounding lush green environment.
The atmosphere where books and the natural environment meet is a space that stimulates the intellect.
The site is huge, with a total of 500 parking spaces.
The bookstore has been a great source of support for our company’s publishing and information dissemination stance, and has been featured in Replan magazine and various other publications.
We have been handling almost all of Replan magazine, various special and extra issues, and Mooks.
Sales have been brisk.
The future of our publishing business is to collaborate with these bookstores’ positive attitude
I believe there is a great need for the publishing business to work with the active stance of bookstores to find a wide range of users and boost the business.
I also believe that it is important for local homebuilders, such as construction firms, to promote the “green and wood” concept.
It is a great opportunity for local home builders to interact with users in a “space surrounded by greenery and trees”.
This is one of the opportunities to build a friendly relationship with the local community.
We have participated in the preparation of woodworking materials for events and as instructors, etc.
This is a rare opportunity to “connect” with the local community.
Houses are a fundamental part of the community, a shared resource to be lived in, made, and passed on.
I believe that housing is a fundamentally shared theme for the community.
As an information media company Replan, we hope to use these opportunities for exchange as a way to
We would like to spread the joy of “creating a home and space” to our users.
I would like to thank everyone who participated in this event.

さて最近、ブログの記述は行きつ戻りつしておりますが、
せっかく「毎日書く」と決めているのでなるべくテーマを決めていきたい。
そうすることで「深掘り」が可能になり意欲も盛り上がります。
いまは国立歴史民俗博物館の「先史」研究の世界に沿って進めたいと思います。
題して「日本列島37,000年史」テーマ設定。

日本列島とそこに暮らす人類の歩みは過去37,000年スパンだという。
こういう年代特定はつい最近、確定してきた見解のようです。
人類史の時代相では旧石器時代から縄文以降〜現代までの期間。
で、その間の列島を覆った気候環境がどうであったか、
という点について、最新の研究による展示パネルが示されていた。
〜過去の気候や気温、古植生はグリーンランドや南極の氷床コア、
日本の長野県・野尻湖や福井県・水月湖の湖沼堆積物の花粉分析などによって
復元されてきている。日本列島の後期旧石器時代は
「寒冷だが安定した時期」だったとされている。一方、
およそ17,000年前からの縄文時代以降は温暖で安定期になる。〜
あまり熱心な勉強をしてこなかったダメ人間ですが、いまになって
もう一回、追試験的に興味深い研究成果に驚かされる（笑）。
っていうか、わたしが教育を受けた、いまから半世紀以上前の段階では
このような研究が確定されていなかった。結果、
実像がモヤに掛かったような状態で教育を受けていたのですね。
なのでまことに新鮮な感動とともに学習意欲が盛り上がってくる（笑）。
「そうなんだよ、こういうのを教えられていたらもっと勉強したのに」
と自分の努力不足を他者のせいにしようという不埒な考えも浮かぶ。
しかし、加齢後にこういう研究成果に触れられるのも無上の楽しさ。
老いてもこころは少年期に若返っていく思いです。

大まかに言うと縄文以降、温暖化が進んできたことで
さまざまな「社会発展」が連綿と始められたのだということがわかる。
よく「縄文海進」という現象を聞いていたけれど、
こういう気候変動がその起点になっていたことが明確ですね。
旧石器時代とは、適応すべき環境自体が大きく姿を変えた。
「海進」というほどだから、陸地が大きく減衰したけれど、
残った陸地は温暖化によって、樹相はむしろ豊富に多様になったことがわかる。
また、それまでの陸地が植生ごと海中になったことで
豊かな食環境が列島海岸に生まれ魚類資源はより豊富に多量になった。
まさに縄文期の生活文化環境が整っていった。
温暖化は圧倒的な暮らしやすさに繋がっただろう。
一方、狩猟採集の主要な生活道具として基盤的に石器の多様な文化があった。
それぞれの時期で動物相に対応して進化発展した様子が開示されている。
巨視的な人類環境の「見える化」で想像力も膨らんでいきますね。

How Did Climatic Conditions Change? The 37,000-year history of the Japanese Islands – 1]
Identification of prehistoric environmental conditions. Methods have been established and visualization has progressed. Exciting intellectual exploration reduced to a boy who loves history. …

Well, lately, my blog entries have been going back and forth.
Since I have decided to write every day, I would like to write on a specific theme as much as possible.
This will allow me to “dig deeper” and motivate me to do so.
For now, I would like to follow the world of “prehistory” research at the National Museum of Japanese History.
The theme is “The 37,000 Year History of the Japanese Islands.

The history of the Japanese archipelago and its inhabitants spans 37,000 years.
This kind of chronological identification seems to be a view that has been confirmed only recently.
In the chronological phase of human history, it is the period from the Paleolithic Age to the Jomon Period and beyond to the present day.
The latest research on the climatic environment that covered the archipelago during that period is on display.
The exhibition panels were based on the latest research on the climatic environment that covered the archipelago during that period.
〜The past climate, temperature, and paleo-vegetation were analyzed using ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, as well as ice cores from Lake Nojiri in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
and pollen analysis of lake sediments from Lake Nojiri, Nagano Prefecture, and Lake Suigetsu, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
The Late Paleolithic of the Japanese Archipelago The Late Paleolithic of the Japanese Islands was
cold but stable period” in the Japanese archipelago. On the other hand
The Jomon Period, which began about 17,000 years ago, was a warm and stable period. ~…
I have not studied very hard, but now I am going to
I am amazed once more by the results of interesting research as a follow-up exam (laugh).
I mean, when I was educated more than half a century ago
such a study had not been finalized. As a result
I was educated in a state in which the real image of the world was covered by a blur.
So, I was really moved by the fresh impression and eager to learn (laughs).
If I had been taught this kind of thing, I would have learned more.
I would have learned more if I had been taught this way,” and the insolent thought of blaming others for my own lack of effort also comes to mind.
However, it is also a great pleasure to be able to experience the results of such research after aging.
Even in my old age, I feel as if my mind is rejuvenated to boyhood.

Roughly speaking, since the Jomon period, global warming has been progressing.
The Jomon period is a time when the warming of the earth’s surface led to a series of “social developments”.
I have often heard of the phenomenon called “Jomon Kaihin” (Jomon sea advance).
It is clear that this kind of climate change was the starting point of this phenomenon.
The environment itself, to which we should adapt, changed drastically from the Paleolithic period.
The land area was greatly attenuated by the “sea advance,” as it is called, but the land that remained was affected by the warming of the climate.
The remaining land was warmed, indicating that the tree fauna became rather abundant and diverse.
In addition, the entire vegetation on the land that had previously been underwater has been transformed into a rich food environment.
The rich food environment was created on the coasts of the archipelago, and fish resources became more abundant and plentiful.
This is exactly the lifestyle and cultural environment of the Jomon period.
Global warming would have made life overwhelmingly easier.
On the other hand, there was a diverse culture of stone tools as the main tools of life for hunter-gatherers.
The evolutionary development of each period in response to the fauna is disclosed.
The “visualization” of the macroscopic human environment also expands our imagination.
