Retrospective isotope analysis of ancient remains to distinguish between tamed and wild animals
The origin and process of the domestication of wild animals have long fascinated scientists. However, there are no reliable methods to distinguish between tamed and wild animals. Here, we present a new method to identify tamed and wild juvenile brown bears (Ursus arctos) using retrospective isotope analysis of the femur. We used femurs from the nine bear cubs and the tibia from one domesticated dog excavated from the Nijibetsu Shuwan Kumaokuriba …
The history of ancient Japanese dogs revealed by mitogenomes
Archaeological evidence indicates that dogs appeared in Japan at least 9300 years ago, dur ing the Jomon period. The Jomon period dogs (Jomon dogs) retained the morphological characteristics of ancient domestic dogs throughout the Jomon period, possibly due to their geographical isolation from continental dogs. Therefore, we expect them to retain the genetic characteristics of ancient domestic dogs. To explore this possibility, we determined the …

東京都目黒区祐天寺に所在する阿弥陀堂は,五代将軍徳川綱吉・八代将軍徳川吉宗の養女であった竹姫が,1724(享保九)年,厄除けの為に造営・寄進した堂宇と伝えられる。寺録にはその由来と合わせ,寄進時,施主竹姫の御髪を収めた石箱が須弥壇の下に埋設されたことも記されている。2014年,改修工事のため阿弥陀堂が一時移設されたところ,寺録に記されている通り,須弥壇の真下に当たる位置に基壇に埋設された石箱が現れ,その内部から頭髪と板材片,白色の粉塊,懐中鏡ほか若干の遺物を発見するに至った。小稿では,それらの観察所見・分析結果を報告し,将軍家養女の中でもひときわ著名な竹姫の食性と厄除け行為について推測し得た事柄を記す
Effects of lipid extraction and different collagen extraction methods on archaeological fish bones and its implications for fish bone diagenesis
Late Pleistocene hares of the Japanese archipelago
The Tsugaru Strait is often referred to as Blakiston's Line in biogeography. Although this strait is thought to have become narrower during the Last Glacial Maximum, it did not close completely to form a land bridge. Sea‐level drawdown associated with cooling nevertheless weakened the influence of the Tsugaru Strait as a barrier to faunal migration. The currently accepted hypothesis is that only some large and highly mobile ungulates were able to…

Rediscovery of the oldest dog burial remains in Japan
In 1962, buried dog remains, believed to be the oldest in Japan, were excavated from the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter. The remain were lost, however, for nearly a half century until March 2011, when what appeared to be the bones of two Jomon dogs were found at Keio University, where extensive searches had been made over many years. While there were no specific notations on the bones, the name and date of the newspaper in which they were wrapped, rema…
Radiocarbon dating of one human and two dog burials from the Kamikuroiwa rock shelter site, Ehime Prefecture
Two complete dog skeletons were recovered during archeological excavations from 1961 to 1970 at the Kamikuroiwa rock shelter, a site that yielded a series of cultural entities from the Late Pleistocene, Incipient Jomon, and Early Jomon periods. Since two dogs were buried close to human skeletons, it was thought that these dogs had been buried by Jomon people, and hence provided the oldest direct evidence of Canis domestication in Japan. However, …
Morphological characteristics of buried dog remains excavated from the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter site, Ehime Prefecture, Japan
In 1962, two sets of dog remains were excavated at the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter site in Ehime Prefecture. 14C age dates of the dog remains correspond to a time period from the end of the Initial Jomon period to the beginning of the Early Jomon period: this indicates that they are the oldest buried dog remains discovered to date in the Japanese archipelago. Both sets of remains represented adult dogs and showed complete permanent dentition. The in…

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of Jomon dogs from the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter site in Shikoku and the Higashimyo site in Kyushu, Japan
To investigate the genetic variation of Jomon dogs (Canis familiaris) in Japan, partial sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region were determined from dog bone remains, which were excavated from two Jomon-period archaeological sites, the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter site in Ehime Prefecture (Shikoku Island) and the Higashimyo site in Saga Prefecture (Kyushu Island), Japan. Of seven individuals from the Kamikuroiwa Rock Shelter site, t…
Paleoenvironment of the Fore-Baikal region in the Karginian interstadial
Vection can be induced without explicit motion signal using backscroll illusion
We demonstrated that vection is induced by a motion stimuli that does not have an explicit, bottom‐up motion component. The stimulus motion used in this experiment was animation movie clips of walking people, with no positional changes within the stimulus field. There were no low‐level motion signals in the direction of gait. The results indicate that strong vection was observed under optimal stimuli conditions, that is, large visual field and mu…
Effects of the amount of monocular shape information on stereo scaling problem
The perception of a three‐dimensional shape from binocular disparity depends on the estimation of viewing distance. Therefore, in the absence of good distance information, an observer misestimates the viewing distance and perceives a wrong depth for an object. While motion depth cues can theoretically overcome this problem, past studies have reported inconsistent results. We examined whether differences in the amount of monocular shape informatio…

In this paper, we aim to describe the developing process of early Japanese psychology. This is the story of the institutionalization of psychology in Japan. We deal with the first period of Japanese psychology and trace the process of shaping the discipline of psychology in Japan. We also focus on the life and studies of Motora, who was the first psychology professor in Japan, and those of his students. In 1903, Yuzero Motora opened the first for…
Depth seen with subjective contours
The phenomenal depth effect induced by Kanizsa figure was quantitatively compared with that evoked by real superposition cue using apparent motion as a probe. Experiment 1 was carried out to test this new method by studying the way apparent motion interacts with a figure inserted in the path of motion as a function of the distance-in-depth between the flashes and the inserted figure (relative distance). In Experiment 2, using this new method, the…
