The impact of the internationalization of political science on publishing in two languages
Does Streaming Esports Affect Players' Behavior and Performance
In this work, we analyze what effect streaming gameplay on Twitch has on players' in-game behavior and performance. We hypothesized that streaming can act as a form of implicit incentive to boost players' performance and engagement. To test this hypothesis, we continuously collected data about all Twitch streams related to a popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game, League of Legends (LoL), and data of all LoL matches played during the…

Subsistence, Sedentism, and Social Complexity among Jomon Hunter-Gatherers of the Japanese Archipelago
Shell midden archaeology in Japan
Morphological and molecular phylogenetic characteristics of dwarf Sus specimens from the Noguni shell middens in the Ryukyu Islands
We analyzed the morphological and molecular phylogenetic characteristics of Sus bone and tooth specimens excavated from the Noguni shell midden and the Noguni B shell midden (c. 7200–4400 uncal. BP), in Okinawa main island. They were compared with those of Sus remains from later sites on the Okinawa Islands (c. 4800–1400 uncal. BP) as well as modern Ryukyu wild boar (Sus scrofa riukiuanus). Based on the length and breadth of lower third molars, S…
Why Didn’t Agriculture Develop in Japan? A Consideration of Jomon Ecological Style, Niche Construction, and the Origins of Domestication
The question of prehistoric plant husbandry during the Jomon period in Japan
The Jomon culture of Japan (14,000–2500 bp) is characterized by exceptionally dense and sedentary populations of hunters, fishers and gatherers. Various arguments have been put forward in favour of Jomon agriculture; it is argued here that such arguments are persuasive only if they are based on actual remains of the plants themselves. Recent excavations of wetland sites such as Awazu and Torihama have produced a range of herbaceous plants that we…
Salmon Exploitation in Jomon Archaeology from a Wetlands Point of View
The economic significance of salmon for a diversity of cultures worldwide, and throughout history, is well documented. This was no less true during the prehistory and history of the Japanese Islands. However, the problem of poor preservation and visibility of salmon bones required to clearly demonstrate that significance is a persistent one. This paper briefly reviews the history of salmon exploitation in the oldest cultural period in Japan follo…
Phytoliths of Rice detected in the Neolithic Sites in the Valley of the Taihu Lake in China
In order to clarify subspecific historical changes of the cultivation rice, 80 samples containing soils, burned soils, and pottery fragments from 12 Neolithic sites around the Taihu Lake in China were analysed for phytoliths. The results show the presence of keystone phytoliths identifiable as Oryza spp. from 49 samples of the Majiabang dating from 5000BC to 3900BC, the Songze dating from 3800BC to 3500BC, and the Liangzhu dating from 3500BC to 2…
Molecular genetic basis of determining subspecies of ancient rice using the shape of phytoliths
Ancient DNA Reveals Genetic Lineage of Sus scrofa among Archaeological Sites in Japan
We analyzed 201 Sus bones excavated from one Jomon and nine Yayoi sites in the southwestern Japanese Islands to determine their genetic relatedness using three fragments of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. Three fragments A (194-bp), B (212-bp) and C (166-bp) were independently amplified from 38, 22 and 28 Sus bone specimens, respectively. All three fragments were successfully sequenced from ten specimens to construct 574-bp sequence…
Variations in Mitochondrial DNA of Dogs Isolated from Archaeological Sites in Japan and Neighbouring Islands
equences of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from archaeological remains of Japanese dogs were determined from 145 ancient dog samples (mainly bones) from the Jomon (100C-4C B.C.), Yayoi (4C B.C.-3C A.D.), Kofun (3-6C A.D.), Okhotsk (7-12C A.D.) and the Kamakura (12-14C A.D.) Periods.Highly variable sequences of the mitochondrial control region (198 base pairs) were amplified at least twice from independently prepared DNA extracts, and those fro…
Archaeological investigations of anadromous salmonid fishing in Japan
This paper examines the archaeology of salmon fishing in Japan, mostly during the Jomon period. The starting point is Sugao Yamanouchi's ‘salmon/trout theory’, which suggested that the greater density of Jomon sites in northeastern Japan could be linked to greater availability of dog salmon (Oncorynchus keta) and trout (O. masou) in this area. Many archaeologists disputed this theory on the grounds that bones of salmon were very rarely recovered …
Fluorine dating of horse remains from Osaki shellmound in Noda City. Debatable existence of horses in Jomon period
野田市にある縄文遺跡の大崎貝塚において,1986年,シカ•イノシシなどと共にウマの骨が出土した。縄文貝塚からは従来ウマが記録され,当時代にウマが存在していたとされるが,近年,精密で大規模な発掘が増加したにもかかわらず,縄文文化層からウマの出土した例が増えないことから,従来の記録の信頼性が問われている。大崎貝塚のウマの骨にっいては,出土状況に他の動物骨との相違が認められず,当貝層が形成された縄文後期に属する可能性が示唆された。そこで,骨のフッ素分析による年代判定を試みた。その結果,ウマは後世の混入であると判断された。他の縄文貝塚においてもウマの骨の混入が指摘されており,「縄文馬」の存否については再検討を要する
