I have to admit, this sentence made me laugh! I had to hunt a bit to find a link that would explain my laugh -- try this website: http://www.ceramicstoday.com/articles/jomon.htm And a brief quote for those who read off-line: "In Japanese, the word "Jomon" means "cord-mark," as in cord-marked decoration on pottery. The Jomon tradition is the name given to hunter-gatherer cultures in Japan from about 13,000 to 2500 BP, when migrating populations from the mainland brought fulltime wet rice agriculture. For the entire ten millennia, the Jomon peoples used ceramic vessels for storage and cooking. Incipient Jomon ceramics are identified by patterns of lines applied onto a bag-shaped vessel." "BP" just means "before present".
