The Jomon
made and used a variety of types of arrowheads. Like in other parts of the world, their
shape and design can be used as a chronological marker. These are a
variety of chert arrowheads found from sites in Niigata Prefecture.
The Jomon also made earrings of both stone and clay. It is unknown whether both
men and women used them, or if just one of the sexes used them.
To the right is an example of stone knife.
