L'idéologie de l'homogénéité culturelle dans l'archéologie préhistorique japonaise
L'idéologie de l'homogénéité culturelle dans l'archéologie préhistorique japonaise De nombreux Japonais, y compris un ancien premier ministre dont la remarque causa un remous international, affirment que la force de la nation japonaise réside dans son homogénéité culturelle et ethnique. L'idée selon laquelle une petite nation insulaire disposant d'un réseau rapide de communication peut développer une culture homogène est vraisemblable dans le con…
Construction of national identity and origins in East Asia
Many authors have remarked that archaeology in East Asia is part of the discipline of history (Chang 1981: 148; Ikawa-Smith 1975: 15; Nelson 1995: 218; Olsen 1987: 282-3; Von Falkenhausen 1993). Furthermore, it is more 'locally focussed' (Barnes 1993: 40), with most of the practising archaeologists investigating archaeological remains within their own national boundaries. To paraphrase the famous statement by North American archaeologists, 'Ameri…
Characteristics of an Early Hominid Scavenging Niche [and Comments and Reply]
Taphonomy at a Distance
Zhoukoudian is often cited as yielding some of the earliest evidence for the use of fire and as documenting "man the hunter" living in caves during the Middle Pleistocene. In addition, it is commonly believed that this important Chinese site documents cannibalism on the part of Middle Pleistocene hominids. We examine the data from Zhoukoudian with several questions in mind: (1) What are the agents responsible for the bone accumulations inside the…
The "Dyuktai Culture" and New World Origins [and Comments and Reply]
The chronology and affinities of the "Dyuktai culture," an Upper Paleolithic assemblage from northeastern Siberia, are discussed. Geoarchaeological and chronometric data suggest that Dyuktai assemblages are no older than the middle part of the early Sartan Glacial (ca. 18,000 B.P.) and are substantially younger than claimed in the Russian literature. Since Dyuktai assemblages have been argued to resemble those of the New World Paleo-Arctic tradit…
Hominid Dietary Selection Before Fire [and Comments and Reply]
Control of fire was apparently acquired rather late in the course of hominid evolution. It is therefore necessary, in the study of dietary selection by early hominids, to consider the range of plants that would have proven inedible without cooking. Some plants contain toxins or digestibility-reducing compounds, and some plant constituents are indigestible. Cooking mitigates the impact of toxins and renders complex carbohydrates more digestible. P…

Observations on the Lower Palaeolithic of Northeast Asia [and Comments and Reply]
The "chopper-chopping-tool tradition" proposed by Movius in 1948 as a characterization of Lower Palaeolithic assemblage variability in East Asia is here examined and rejected. It is argued that its uncritical acceptance in the Western literature has resulted in an inaccurate perception of technological variability and change in this vast region. A brief summary of recent primary source material clearly indicates (1) that there are variable quanti…

Introduction
The History of Early Paleolithic Research in Japan
Early Paleolithic in South and East Asia
Continuity and Local Evolution in the Neolithic of South China
The Neolithic of South China (and of the Far East generally) has traditionally been reconstructed on nuclear-diffusionist models; chronologies and local culture sequences in South China have been related to the rise of agriculture and Neolithic technology in North China, and their subsequent spread into the South, often seen to have resulted from a movement of peoples out of the "nuclear area." Recent data now suggest a generally contemporaneous …
On Ceramic Technology in East Asia
Behavioral Analysis and the Structure of a Prehistoric Industry [and Comments and Reply]
Assuming that aboriginal behavior was recorded on chipped-stone implements and debitage, and assuming that the analyst can train himself to recognize and interpret that record, then a classification of lithic artifacts based on manufacturing behavior may be considered an inherent classification. Lithic behavioral classification is examined from the perspective of other archaeological classifications as well as from general taxonomic theory. Advan…
