It may provide a best example of an alternative model of early civilizations against the classical understanding. This workshop aims at reviewing and discussing the characteristics of Jomon and other “unconventional” prehistoric cultures in the northeast Eurasia and neighboring regions towards a new perspective of early civilizations. Experts and students of (but not limited to) archaeology, anthropology, paleoecology, and other related fields are encouraged to participate. |
