The Middle Jomon covers the period of Jomon history from 3000 to 2000 BCE. Following the Early Jomon period, the Middle Jomon periods saw an explosion in population, as indicated by the number of excavations from this period.

These two periods correspond to a portion of the prehistoric holocene climatic optimum (between 4000 and 2000 BCE), when temperatures reached several degrees Celsius higher than the present, and the seas were higher by 5 to 6 meters ("Prehistoric Japan", Imamura). Beautiful artistic realizations, such as highly decorated flamed vessels, remain from that time.

Middle Jomon (3000 - 2000 BCE):

  • Katsusaka/Otamadai,
  • Kasori E1,
  • Kasori E2.
