Copper screw plate from a musket with the inscription 'Camera Zeeland'. Side Plate.Harpoon head Japan The Jmon period is the earliest period in Japanese history, lasting from roughly 14,000 to 300 BCE. The Jmon people were primarily hunter-gatherers, hunting land animals and gathering vegetables and nuts on the land as well as hunting and fishing at sea. Harpoon heads such as this one testify to the importance of seafood in the diets of some Jmon communities, especially those close to the sea. Fish bones found at Jmon archaeological sites indicate that the Jmon hunted fish not only close to the shore but also farther out in the open sea, where larger fish could be caught. There is even evidence that the Jmon ate pufferfish, a poisonous fish considered a delicacy in modern Japan.. Harpoon head. Japan. Bone. Final Jmon period (ca. 1000-300 B.C.).

It is made of copper or an alloy of copper given the green patina on some of the surface. This patina is a product of natural corrosion. Tupus consist of two parts: the head (cuerpo” or cabeza” to use the Spanish terms of Fernández 2015, 10) and the stem (alfiler” or espiga”). The head of this particular tupu is semi-circular, its lower edges pointing slightly downward. In profile, the head is especially thin. There is a circular perforation at the center of the head, in the lower half. Significantly thicker than the head of the tupu, its stem is broad near the top and then narrows to its end point. The stem features a circular cross section. Besides natural corrosion, the surface shows encrusted soil and pitting. The edges of the head are relatively rough, especially along the top. To make this object, metalworkers would havOriginal steam pipe of the Steamboat Princess Marianne, Erdegangh, after 1820 ship model. fully rigged model. show model Steam pipe of board paper, with iron necklace.

(11.1 cm).These implements--an arrowhead, fishhooks, needle, and harpoon--were skillfully carved from bone, a material worked by Japanese artisans since Paleolithic times. They were found in the Obara Shell Mound at Ofunato Bay in Iwate Prefecture. According to information gleaned from shell mounds, or middens, the people of the Jomon period relied on a variety of strategies to obtain food. The large number of fishhooks, fashioned with and without barbs, together with the rich array of marine remains found in these rubbish heaps since very early times indicate that some fifty species of fish and shellfish constituted an essential dietary staple. Toggle-head harpoons, a later innovation, facilitated the hunting of sea mammals. Attaching a line to the toggle allowed the hunter to draw in his prey once the toggle had broken away from the harpoon shaft.
