Jomon Culture

The Jomon Culture encompasses which period?

• 10,000 BCE to 300 BCE

• 500 BCE to 500 CE

• 1000 CE to 1500 CE

• 1500 CE to 1800 CE

Jomon Era pots were made using which technique?

• Coiling technique

• Wheel throwing

• Slip casting

• Injection molding

The transition between Paleolithic and Neolithic ways of life is marked by:

• the development of agriculture

• the invention of the wheel

• the discovery of fire

• the use of metal tools

Which of the following materials were used in Jomon pottery?

• Mica

• Lead

• Fibers

• All of the above

Explain how the increase in food supply led to an increased need for pottery during the period around 10,000 B.C.

• The increase in food supply led to the need for storage solutions, which increased the demand for pottery.

• The increase in food supply led to a decrease in the need for pottery.

• The increase in food supply had no impact on the need for pottery.

• The increase in food supply led to the use of metal containers instead of pottery.

Describe the innovations in pottery and technology that were influenced by the diet and way of life during the Jomon culture.

• The Jomon culture's diet and lifestyle led to the creation of cord-marked pottery and stone tools.

• The Jomon culture's diet and lifestyle led to the development of metalworking techniques.

• The Jomon culture's diet and lifestyle led to the invention of the wheel.

• The Jomon culture's diet and lifestyle led to the construction of large stone pyramids.

Larger communities led to a different diet and possible agriculture during the Jomon culture because:

• they had more resources to experiment with farming.

• they were forced to find new food sources due to overpopulation.

• they developed trade networks that introduced new foods.

• they had more leisure time to develop new agricultural techniques.

Discuss the impact of climate change on technology shifts and population movements during the Jomon culture.

• Climate change had no impact on technology shifts and population movements during the Jomon culture.

• Climate change led to significant technology shifts and population movements during the Jomon culture.

• Climate change only affected technology shifts but not population movements during the Jomon culture.

• Climate change only affected population movements but not technology shifts during the Jomon culture.

One of the technological developments during the Late/Final Jomon period was:

• Pottery with cord-marked patterns

• Iron smelting

• The invention of the wheel

• The development of writing systems

As the climate cooled and food became less abundant, what happened to the population?

• The population increased significantly.

• The population remained stable.

• The population decreased.

• The population migrated to warmer areas.
