NEWSFLASH!

So, today, my parents asked me a very good question "when was ancient Japan?" I replied "a long time ago" but they kept on persisting and wanted to know the exact dates...
so i was able to track something down.
so there is the Jomon Period (14,000-300 BC), Yayoi Period (300BC-300AD), and the Yamato Period (300-710). These are the periods of Ancient Japan.

Jomon Period
Ok, so they used lots of cord, marked pottery, and hungting to gather their food.
Jomon means "cord-patterned"



Yayoi Period
named after a city in in tokyo where artifacts were found. The society became richer. The society started to get more and more complexed. The culture quickly spread to other parts to the main island of Japan. There were many farming villages that were permanently planted. They started to make buildings of wood and stone.


Yamato Period
The people of Japan were ruled from an imperial court.
