While these communities show clearly localized developments in their material culture, they were not totally isolated, as shown by shared pottery styles. There was also some contact between the peninsula and archipelago, as shown by Jomon pottery sherds and by obsidian from Korean Neolithic coastal sites and influences from the peninsula on some Jomon pottery styles. Resistance to change from outside, however, is suggested by the relatively late arrival of metallurgy and agriculture in the region. DECORATING THE BODY was important in Jomon times. Elaborate pottery ear ornaments became especially popular in the Kanto region of Honshu in the final stage of the Jomon period. Over 1000 ear ornaments were discovered at Chiamigaito in central Honshu, indicating they were produced in a specialist workshop. Large numbers of ear ornaments are only found at a few sites, although strikingly similar designs are found from sites separated by long distances. These ornaments were made from specially selected clay and are sometimes decorated with red pigments. They belong to a tradition of ear ornaments that extends back to 5000 BC. monstrated g from ukumo and curred at ed by orn in a ay have uggesting own from a e umbers of ed. , notably orate ch were ndicates that ed among uction of ne and ability to onuments, ments of at Komakino, ant st a concern and the to have been ts of lysis of the suggests ation of and 7 which ce for Jomon terlogged material perished. fore 5000 BC, gree of nvironment, r requires a mmediately ree and its ;=@B+#'3#M&?0(#W$j=?=B$j&0&B$
