 note = {Jōmon is frequently connected with the continental cultures ofNortheastern Asia, although there is considerable evidence showing itsrelationship to southern parts of the Asian continent (specifically, to theregion around the Yangtze River, to what is today southern China, andto continental Southeast Asia), as well. The most striking evidence is theadoption of wet rice agriculture, which is absent in the northern partof the continent. Although J?mon culture developed after the Japanesearchipelago was separated by sea from the Asian continent, the contactswith continental cultures did not cease. In this research note, based on ananalysis of archaeological data, I discuss the problem of the relationshipof J?mon with ancient cultures of the Yangtze basin, of Southeast China,and of Southeast Asia, and the problem of the ways and peculiarities ofcontacts of J?mon people with the continent.},
