现代鲨鱼袭击并不常见，考古学上的例子更是罕见，最古老的已知案例可以追溯到公元前2000年。公元1000年在这里，我们报告了一个成年男性放射性碳的鲨鱼攻击，时间可追溯到公元前1370-1010大卡，在日本群岛的狩猎采集者绳门时期。这名男子被埋葬在日本濑户内海附近的Tsukuo遗址，据报道，现代鲨鱼袭击事件发生在那里。受害者身上至少有790处鲨鱼袭击造成的围死期创伤，包括深的切割骨凿、穿刺、重叠条纹的切口和围死期钝力骨折。使用地理信息系统将病变映射到人体骨骼的3D模型上，以辅助损伤的可视化和分析。伤口的分布表明受害者在被袭击时可能还活着而不是被吃了。最有可能的鲨鱼物种负责的攻击是一个白色鲨鱼（Carcharodon carpidas）或虎鲨（Galeocerdo cuvier）。袭击发生后不久，他的大部分（虽然不是全部）尸体被发现并埋葬在Tsunhao墓地。
Modern shark attacks are uncommon and archaeological examples are even rarer, with the oldest previously known case dating to ca. AD 1000. Here we report a shark attack on an adult male radiocarbon dated to 1370–1010 cal BC during the fisher-hunter-gatherer Jōmon period of the Japanese archipelago. The individual was buried at the Tsukumo site near Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, where modern shark attacks have been reported. The victim has at least 790 perimortem traumatic lesions characteristic of a shark attack, including deep, incised bone gouges, punctures, cuts with overlapping striations and perimortem blunt force fractures. Lesions were mapped onto a 3D model of the human skeleton using a Geographical Information System to assist visualisation and analysis of the injuries. The distribution of wounds suggests the victim was probably alive at the time of attack rather than scavenged. The most likely species of shark responsible for the attack is either a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) or a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). Shortly after the attack most, though not all, of his body was recovered and buried in the Tsukumo cemetery.
