To examine population affinities in light of the ‘dual structure model’, frequencies of 21 \nnonmetric cranial traits were analyzed in 17 prehistoric to recent samples from Japan and five from \ncontinental northeast Asia. Eight bivariate plots, each representing a different bone or region of the \nskull, as well as cluster analysis of 21-trait mean measures of divergence using multidimensional scaling \nand additive tree techniques, revealed good discrimination between the Jomon-Ainu indigenous \nlineage and that of the immigrants who arrived from continental Asia after 300 BC. In Hokkaido, in \nagreement with historical records, Ainu villages of Hidaka province were least, and those close to the \nJapan Sea coast were most, hybridized with Wajin. In the central islands, clines were identified among \nWajin skeletal samples whereby those from Kyushu most resembled continental northeast Asians, \nwhile those from the northernmost prefectures of Tohoku apparently retained the strongest indigenous \nheritage. In the more southerly prefectures of Tohoku, stronger traces of Jomon ancestry prevailed in \nthe cohort born during the latest Edo period than in the one born after 1870. Thus, it seems that \nincreased inter-regional mobility and gene flow following the Meiji Restoration initiated the most \nrecent episode in the long process of demic diffusion that has helped to shape craniofacial change in \nJapan
