If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Anke Plagnol. Archaeological evidence suggests that the introduction of paddy field agriculture approximately 3000 years ago sparked a cultural transition throughout Japan. Many aspects of this transition from the Jomon to the Yayoi period are still under debate, including its impact on diet and society. However, to date, most researchers have focused on material culture. In this project, chemical analyses of human bone are used to directly investigate if and how diet changed over the Jomon-Yayoi transition in western Japan where paddy field agriculture was first introduced. This data is then combined with archaeological data to re-explore concepts of Yayoi society. This talk is part of the Darwin College Humanities and Social Sciences Group series.
