Part B_2 Passage reading
Digging into mystery
We were introduced to some examples of Australian prehistoric paintings. They were very interesting. Some of them reminded us of Japan’s own prehistoric artifacts. An example is the dogu, earthen figures created in the Jomon period. We’ll tell you more about Japan’s mysterious dogu. But we’d like to share with you what life was like in the Jomon period. It gets its name from the “rope patterns” that appear in its pottery.
People have found Jomon artifacts all over Japan. One of them was found at Sannai-Maruyama in Aomori in 1992. Researchers found six big holes on the ground with the remaining parts of wooden pillars. They were the base of a wooden structure. Maybe hundreds of families lived in this village. Many people chose to live there permanently. They hunted animals, fished, and picked berries and mushrooms. The Jomon people loved to decorate themselves with jewelry made of bone, stone, and shell. The village is now gone, but lots of people are coming back, not to live there, but as tourists.
