Flintknapping a Tanged Point and the Incipient Jomon period in Japan

- In this video we visit the topic of Japan's Holocene stone age, called the Jomon era. During the Incipient Jomon era around 15,000 years ago, when people were transitioning from Pleistocene lifeways, people began using different stone tool technology and made tanged bifacial points. I replicate one of these tanged points and talk about the archaeology of these hunter gatherers from Japan's ancient past.

Hey Silas, good to see you knapping and teaching us insights of cultures long ago. 👍🏽🌞❤️
Always enjoy your content. Good stuff
Thanks!
Very cool! History is always extra enjoyable with a demonstration.
I really appreciate your videos. I like hearing about the history behind the point types while also watching you skillfully chip them out. Very impressed with how well you make such a wide variety of points/blades
Super interesting! This is my first introduction to Japanese tools and is going to spur some research on my part!
Nice work and explanation
What do you make of the current discussions about the Western Stemmed Tradition showing up about the same time as this and other related types in eastern Asia? It seems so tantalizing to correlate them somehow...
While I think it’s a neat discussion, there isn’t really evidence for a connection. The genetic evidence doesn’t suggest a paleo connection to ancient Japanese populations. Besides having stems, Jomon tanged points don’t closely resemble WST points or the stemmed points found in the Channel Islands. I came across several good sources recently so I may do a video on it
@@pathwaysofthepast Well I'm glad you've found some papers and materials on it. It keeps getting whispered about, Jon Erland comes to mind, but I never see anyone actually explore it - maybe because there's nothing there.
You're right about the ancient genetics, as that picture keeps opening up a little at a time. The Beringians were very unique, with the majority of their DNA coming from an old Eurasian step population (according to David Reich publications) that doesn't exist anymore in that form. They're truly the last of their kind! The Asian add-mix appears to be fairly "recent", in a deep paleolithic sense of the word.
I hope and pray to be mistaken, but the way things are developing lately, it all seems to point that your skills might soon be in high demand.
Jomon is pronounced like JOE-mon (sounding a bit like "mom" but with an n). Definitely not "juh-MOAN".
Actually based on the Japanese vowels あいえうお it would be pronounced (joe moan)
@@blacksnapper7684 the Japanese O vowel isn't in the same place as the English O vowel
