The Jōmon period ((縄文時代, Jōmon-jidai) is the time in Japanese prehistory which started in roughly 14,000 BC[1] to 10,000 BC.[2]
The period ended in roughly 500 BC[3] or 400 BC[2] to 300 BC.
"Jōmon" means "patterns of plaited cord"[2] or "cord-patterned" [4] from the way they decorated their pottery. The Jōmon people were closely related to the ancestors of other East Asians, but became isolated on the Japanese archipelago in 15,000BCE and recived some geneflow from an European-related population from Siberia along a North to South cline. It is suggested that the Jōmon, like other East Asians and Native Americans, ultimately originated in Southeast Asia. Cultural similarities exist with Native Americans.[5][6][7]
