INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Jōmon culture, earliest major culture of prehistoric Japan, characterized by pottery decorated with cord-pattern (jōmon) impressions or reliefs. For some time there has been uncertainty about assigning dates to the Jōmon period, particularly to its onset.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Jōmon period was rich in tools and jewelry made from bone, stone, shell and antler; pottery figurines and vessels; and lacquerware.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Jōmon period, which encompasses a great expanse of time, constitutes Japan’s Neolithic period. Its name is derived from the “cord markings” that characterize the ceramics made during this time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Jomon Period is the earliest historical era of Japanese history which began around 14500 BCE, coinciding with the Neolithic Period in Europe and Asia, and ended around 300 BCE when the Yayoi Period began. The name Jomon, meaning ‘cord marked’ or ‘patterned’, comes from the style of pottery made during that time.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Beginning of the Jomon Period The end of the Ice Age coincided with the closure of the Paleolithic era, when stone tools were used as main instruments, and thus the Jomon period began approximately 13, 000 BCE.
