Some things I know about the Jomon:
1. The Ainu (Kennewick Man) are believed to have descended from the Jomon
2. The oldest Jomon skeleton ever found in Japan is 13,000 years old
3. The Jomon produced the oldest pottery in the world and is recognized by its 'cord' markings
4. Jomon type 'cord' marked pottery has been found in Olmec ruins in Mexico

The tools are patterned with regular notches of about 1 millimeter in diameter. Proof that the Jomon used the metric system as far back as 5000 BCE?

I first heard the term 'cord marked' while reading the descriptions of pottery at the Ban Chiang dig museum.
That village dated back to 3600 BCE. I could see the markings. Very Cool.
Thank you for another interesting article.

Blam, may I know if you have any theories regarding how a caucasian-looking people (the JOMON, and the AINU) come to be living in Japan, which is so far away from Europe ???
