Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the period and style that developed around 10,000 to 300 BCE, named for the cord-marked Jōmon pottery discovered at most sites. Lasting more than 8, 000 years, the period witnessed early developments in Japanese culture, such as shamanistic practices, fishing and gathering techniques.
