"A Four Phases Theory on the Spread of Early Agriculture in North-Eastern
Asia"
Prof. Dr. Kazuo MIYAMOTO (Dep. of Archaeology, Kyushu University, Japan)
Abstract:
North-Eastern Asia (Korea, Japan) is a secondary agricultural area where crop
domestication was not invented locally, but accepted from outside. This
presentation focuses on the process of the spread of agriculture in prehistoric
ages. The spread of agriculture from the Chinese continent to the north-eastern
parts of East Asia will be explained in a four phases model, which comprises a
final step of distribution of agriculture to the Japanese archipelago. As will
be elaborated on, the spread phases are not only related with the change of
weather condition but also connected to social change. The four phases theory on
the spread of early agriculture in North-Eastern Asia will moreover be compared
with the agricultural spread model of European prehistory.
