Jomon subsistence

Jomon subsistence refers to the way of life and food gathering practices of the Jomon people, who lived in Japan from around 14,000 BCE to 300 BCE. They were primarily hunter-gatherers, relying on fishing, hunting wild animals, and foraging for plants, nuts, and berries. The Jomon utilized tools made from stone, bone, and shell to aid in their subsistence activities. They also engaged in early forms of pottery, which demonstrates their ability to cook and store food. This lifestyle allowed them to adapt to various environments and sustain themselves over thousands of years.
