Sanai Maruyama site during prehistoric period in Japan(Between Origin, Reality and Hope )

The Sanai Maruyama site, dating to the Middle Jomon period (3500–2000 BC), offers significant insights into Japan's prehistoric civilization. Archaeological excavations uncovered a rich assemblage of artifacts, including pottery, stone tools, clay figures, jade jewelry, and marine bone remains, alongside dwelling, storage, and tomb pits, as well as structural reinforcement columns. These findings highlight the advanced societal organization, technological sophistication, and subsistence practices of Jomon communities during this era. The site's recognition as a special national treasure (2000) and part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan (2021) underscores its global importance. This study combines archaeological analysis with material culture examination to reconstruct the cultural landscape and social dynamics of the Middle Jomon phase, bridging gaps between origin narratives, empirical evidence, and historical interpretation.
