NOTA (★)(Human habitation in Japan probably began when the present islands were still part of the mainland. Much later migrants of mixed stock made up the Neolithic peoples, whose shell-mounds and dwelling sites give archaeological evidence of a surprisingly dense population. Under the impact of successive migrations, the Japanese character of the people started to assume its shape in the Bronze-Iron Age, the period to which the oldest literary records apply. Within an economy based on the production of rice and --at first imported-- metals, tribal groups united to form small kingdoms, and the last fifteen years have brought to light their cemeteries and extensive community sites. Towards the close of the third century A.D. the entrenched nobles began to construct colossal tombs, stocking these with a rich assortment of grave goods. Later centuries witnessed the increase in scale and grandeur of the tombs, but their demise was brought on by the arrival of Buddhism and practices of cremation as Japan entered its historical era. These graves and their contents form the chief archaeological treasures of the protohistoric period./ Dr. Kidder has organized the results of spectacular excavations in Japan of the last two decades, describing present knowledge of the origins of each successive culture, continental contacts, and unique features of ancient Japanese life. His book is the first over-all view of Japanese prehistory and protohistory in a western language to appear in this era of modern archaeology. The illustrations include much recently discovered and hitherto unpublished material./ ◆Dr. Kidder has had long residence in China, Korea and Japan, and travelled widely in Europe and the Far East. His studies in foreign countries have been in France and Japan, the latter while on a Fulbright grant in 1953-4. He received his A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from New York University, and taught at Washington University in St. Louis before being appointed Associate Professor of Art and Archaeology at International Christian University in 1956./ He has participated in excavations in Japan at different times since 1950, and has conducted excavations on the large Stone Age community site on the grounds of I.C.U. in the suburbs of Tokyo since joining that institution. He is the author of a number of articles on prehistoric Japan, and his book,´The Jomon Pottery of Japan,´ is an extensive study of Japanese Neolithic pottery./ ▼CONTENTS/ ●I : THE PALAEOLITHIC AND MESOLITHIC PERIODS/ ●II : THE NEOLITHIC PERIOD/The Sites/Food Supplies/Tools and Pottery/Customs and Symbols/Neolithic Man/ ●III : THE BRONZE-IRON AGE/Rice-Growing Communities/Burial Methods/Bronze Equipment/The Pottery/Customs and Religious Practices/ ●IV : THE PROTOHISTORIC PERIOD/The Communities/Iron/The Tombs/The Contents of Tombs/The Tomb Sculptures/The Shrines/ ●Text References/List of Emperors/Short Bibliography/The Plates/Notes on the Plates/)
