Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional ontogenetic shape changes in the human cranium during the fetal period.
TL;DR: The present study investigates ontogenetic changes in cranial shape in the fetal period, as exhibited in Japanese fetal specimens housed at Kyoto University, and indicates that the allometric pattern of the human cranium changes drastically from before to after birth.
Journal ArticleDOI
A strontium isotope analysis on the relationship between ritual tooth ablation and migration among the Jomon people in Japan
Soichiro Kusaka,Atsushi Ando,Takanori Nakano,Takakazu Yumoto,Eriko Ishimaru,Minoru Yoneda,Fujio Hyodo,Kazumichi Katayama +7 more
TL;DR: The intra-population 87 Sr/ 86 Sr distribution of tooth enamel of type 2C individuals showed a significantly higher mean ratio than that of type 4I individuals, suggesting a higher proportion of immigrants among the former.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in stable isotope ratios in two Late-Final Jomon communities in the Tokai coastal region and its relationship with sex and ritual tooth ablation
TL;DR: Analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios in a sample of human and nonhuman mammal bones excavated from the Yoshigo and Inariyama shell mounds indicated that sex is one of the factors determining dietary difference, and possibly the earliest evidence of occupational differentiation in the Jomon people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mongoloid populations from the viewpoints of Gm patterns
TL;DR: The distribution of Gm allotypes has been investigated for the 16 Mongoloid populations from various regions in Asia, North, and South America and the presence of a clear geographic cline for the Gmag and Gmafb1b3 haplotypes was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotopic evidence of breastfeeding and weaning practices in a hunter–gatherer population during the Late/Final Jomon period in eastern Japan
Takumi Tsutaya,Takumi Tsutaya,Akina Shimomi,Shiori Fujisawa,Kazumichi Katayama,Minoru Yoneda +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the utilization of pottery and plant food per se is not a sole determinant of the age at the end of weaning in past human populations, and a special diet was not always applied during and just after the weaning process.
