My name is Joseph Ryan and I am currently a freelance translator living on and off between America and Japan. My research interests span from the late Pleistocene or pre-Jomon to the early Heian period. I am especially enthralled with kofun symbolism, architecture, and evolution, and have a special place in my heart for Yayoi divination practices.
The brunt of the material appearing here concerns archaeological news from Japan, but I will also post links and articles of interest and attempt to keep abreast of Japanese history-related book releases, as well.
The main content can be accessed through the “Archaeology News” tab. Each article will have a corresponding geographical marker (and link) on the interactive map, which can be accessed through the “Map” tab. The material under “Archaeological News” is organized by historical period; to read the articles in the order they were posted, instead, click “Posts.”
