Human skeletal remains of the Yayoi period excavated from jar burials at the North Kyushu area which includes the Yoshinogari site in Saga Prefecture show different physical features from those of the Jomon people, and they have a high face and a tall stature. It could be suggested that they came over to Japan crossing the sea. It is also necessary to find out in which route these Yayaoi people came to Japan in order to clarify the formation of the Japanese people. It has been indicated that the Yayoi culture was strongly influenced by the cultures in China and the Korea, particularly Konan district and Kanan district in China. We studied ancient human bone groups dating from 3,000 B. C. excavated from Fukken Province and Santo Province and compared their features with those of the North Kyushu Yayoi people. The period around 3,000 B. C. corresponds to the late phase of the Jomon period in Japan, but these human remains do not show the physical features of the Jomon people. The DonsekiZan sketeton from Fukken Province have the trait of a low and wide face in general, but some with a rather high face are also included. So we can not simply exclude this area from possible originated areas of the North Kyushu Yayoi people. As for the Daimonko skeleton from Santo Province, artificial tooth extraction is found and facial height is rather high. These features seem common with features of the North Kyushu Yayoi people, but there is a great periodic difference between the two periods and their physical features are not totally common. It is also too soon to specify Santo Province as the originate place of those Yayoi peole. There are still many human bone groups we should investigate in the future. Through our future studies, it seems possible to specify the originatinf places of the North Kyushu Yayoi people and also to obtain valuable data on the origin of the Jomon people and the physical changes of the Japanese.

在包括佐贺县吉之郡遗址在内的北九州地区，从陶罐墓葬中发掘出的弥生时代的人类骨骼遗骸显示出与绳纹人不同的身体特征，他们有高脸和高大的身材。可以说，他们是渡海来到日本的。也有必要查明这些弥瑶人是通过哪条路线来到日本的，以便弄清日本人的形成。研究表明，弥生文化深受中国和朝鲜文化的影响，特别是中国的甲南区和甲南区。我们研究了B前3,000年的古人类骨骼。C.从福健道和三东道挖掘出来，并将其特征与北九州弥生人的特征进行了比较。B前3，000年左右。C.这是日本绳文时代的晚期，但这些人类遗骸并没有显示出绳文人的身体特征。一般来说，来自东泽省的DonsekiZan sketeteton具有低而宽的脸，但也包括一些脸相当高的人。因此，我们不能简单地将这一地区排除在北九州弥生人的可能起源地区之外。至于来自桑托省的Daimonko骨架，发现了人工拔牙，面部高度相当高。这些特征似乎与北九州弥生人的特征相同，但两个时期之间存在很大的周期性差异，他们的身体特征并不完全相同。现在就把这些弥生人的发源地说成是圣都省还为时过早。还有许多人类骨组我们应该在未来进行研究。通过今后的研究，有可能确定北九州弥生人的起源地，也有可能获得有关绳文人起源和日本人体质变化的宝贵资料。
