Jomon artifacts

Jomon artifacts are ancient tools, pottery, and ornaments created by Japan’s Jomon people around 14,000 to 300 BCE. They are known for their distinctive cord-marked patterns on pottery, which were made by pressing cords into clay before firing. These artifacts reflect a complex, semi-sedentary society that relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering. The pottery and tools provide valuable insights into their daily life, culture, and craftsmanship. Recognized as some of the world's earliest pottery, Jomon artifacts showcase Japan’s rich prehistoric heritage and the evolving skills of its ancient inhabitants.
