Japanese history from c. 340 BC to 700 AD From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zoku-Jōmon period (続縄文時代) (c. 340 BC–700 AD),[1] also referred to as the Epi-Jōmon period,[2] is the time in Japanese prehistory that saw the flourishing of the Zoku-Jōmon culture,[3] a continuation of Jōmon culture in northern Tōhoku and Hokkaidō that corresponds with the Yayoi period and Kofun period elsewhere.[3] Zoku-Jōmon ("continuing cord-marking")[4] in turn gave way to Satsumon ("brushed pattern"[3] or "scraped design"[5]) around the seventh century[3] or in the Nara period[6] (710–794). The "Yayoinisation" of northeast Honshū took place in the mid-Yayoi period; use of the term Zoku-Jōmon is then confined to those, in Hokkaidō, who did not "become Yayoi".[6] Despite the elements of continuity emphasised by the name, which include the continuing production of cord-marked ceramics, ongoing employment of stone technology, and non-transition to rice-based agriculture, all Jōmon hallmarks, the Zoku-Jōmon period nevertheless saw a "major break in mobility and subsistence patterns".[4]
