Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-30 00:00:00 Samuel Garcia It's heavy, dry academic prose, and the author repeats herself throughout the book, which makes it hard to pay attention and not skim. I skimmed more and more as I went along. On the plus side, she presents copious maps and charts which are well integrated into the text. History and archaeology books often fail here, so it's important to praise it here. Overall, I think I learned more from Prehistoric Japan, but then, I read that one first. I suggest you do the same, and only read Ancient Jomon of Japan if you want a second perspective.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-25 00:00:00 Prakash Sharma I found this book very interesting, though I did have trouble following some of the anthropology and archaeology specific terms, seeing as I've never had any study of them. This was one of the few books I found in English on the Jomon, who are considered to be the earliest population on the Japanese islands. I became interested in them after seeing an exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum in Ueno a few months ago, but there is a lack of English language books written on them. The book was also interesting because the author discussed the differences in Japanese archaeology and Anglo-American, and how those differences affected and continue to affect the level of importance that is placed on items/finds/interpretations of data.
