Chapter 1 Katano from the Paleolithic period to the Yayoi<\/em> period<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nibs of stone spears found\u00a0in the Jinguji Iseki<\/em> (the remains of Jinguji) and\u00a0the Yakegaito Iseki<\/em> (the remains of Yakegaito) tell us that mankinds had already resided in Katano about 13,000 years ago. The nibs were\u00a0used as tools for hunting and cooking. Moreover, the stone knives were found\u00a0in the Jinguji Iseki<\/em> and the Nogake Iseki <\/em>(the remains of Nogake).<\/p>\n

Since the Jomon period, people began to use stone arrowheads for hunting nimble animals such as wild boars, deers, and birds. They also made\u00a0rope-patterned\u00a0potteries\u00a0for boiling nuts. The potteries are called Jomon Doki<\/em> (Jomon<\/em> pottery). The bottom of Jomon Doki<\/em> found in Jinguji Iseki<\/em> is not flat but sharp.\u00a0It is said that people in the Jomon<\/em> period\u00a0made such\u00a0pottery for effectively concentrating fire on the bottom.<\/p>\n

Jomon<\/em> pottery of Jinguji Iseki<\/em> were patterned\u00a0by rolling small sticks. It was in Jinguji Iseki<\/em> that such pottery\u00a0were found for the first time. Therefore, they are called Jinguji Shiki Doki<\/em> (Jinguji<\/em>-style pottery).<\/p>\n

In the Yayoi<\/em> period, rice cultivation was\u00a0introduced from China to the northern Kyushu<\/em>, and immediately diffused throughout Japan. Ishi Bocho<\/em> (a stone knife), which was used for\u00a0cutting rice ears, was found in the ruin of the Kisabe<\/em> castle with Yayoi Doki<\/em> (Yayoi<\/em> pottery).<\/p>\n
