Fossil wood assemblages deposited during 6.300–3.000 yBP, are studied at the Akayama Site, central Japan. Layer III containing fossil woods was divided into three subunits according to intercalating tephras, and total 3618 fossil woods were studied. In the composition, deciduous broad-leaved trees dominated, accompanied by some evergreen conifers. In the diameter distribution, nine taxa accounted for nearly 90% of individuals exceeding 10 cm in diameter. Spatial distribution of nine major and three minor taxa and that of thick individuals clarified the following points: 1)Fraxinusestablished a lowland forest during 5,000–4,500 yBP, accompanied byAlnussect.Gymnothyrsus, Acer andAesculus turbinata; 2) small trees ofAlnussect.Gymnothyrsusextensively intermingled in the lowlandFraxinusforest during 4,500–3,000 yBP; 3)Quercussect.Prinusand Castanea crenata constituted escarpment forests during 6,300–3,000 yBP; 4)Carpinussect.Eucarpinusbecame a major component during 5,000–4,500 yBP, andOstrya japonicareplacedCastanea crenataduring 4,500–3,000 yBP. Comparison with the other five contemporaneous fossil wood assemblages shows prevalence ofFraxinus-dominant forests during the Late to Latest Jomon Periods in the southern part of the Kanto Plain.
