As a result of the rise in sea levels after the last glacial period, the sea penetrated deeper into the coastline around Japan than the current coastline. It is called the Jomon Transgression because it occurred during the Early to Early Jomon period. The existence of the Jomon Transgression was known in the 1920s, when maps of the Jomon coastline were made due to the fact that Jomon shell mounds were found inland on the Kanto Plain. The time when the transgression reached its greatest extent varies by region, but is generally considered to have occurred between 7,000 and 6,000 years ago. This corresponds to the time when sea levels around Japan rose the most.

最終氷期以降の海面上昇に伴い、日本周辺で現在の海岸線よりも奥まで海が浸入したこと。縄文時代早期~前期におきた海進であることから縄文海進とよばれる。関東平野で縄文時代の貝塚が内陸まで分布していることから1920年代に縄文時代の海岸線の図がつくられ、縄文海進の存在は知られていた。海進がもっとも進んだ時期は地域によって異なるが、おおむね7000~6000年前とされている。これは日本周辺で海面がもっとも上昇した時期にあたる。 [小松原純子] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
