| Abstract(in English) | Clay figurines from the Jomon period of prehistoric Japanese Archipelago show astonishing variety in their facial and bodily features. Their facial expression may be a useful clue to understand the function and meaning of the figurines, as psychological studies have elucidated both human cognitive universality and difference according to culture and gender. As a pilot study to examine the validity of this perspective, the results of psychological experiment using the figurine faces as stimuli to analyze how modern Japanese and non-Japanese subjects recognize the facial expressions of Jomon figurines are presented. Results of principal component analysis of the patterns of figurine faces and basic expressions are discussed from cross cultural viewpoint. |
