The change of a technical adaptation strategy during the period of first human appearance in Japan, confirmed at the Musashino Plateau and at the foot of Mt. Ashitaka, corresponds roughly with the change in climate from MIS 3 to MIS 2.Studies on hunting tools and trap pits show that hunting behavior during the early Upper Paleolithic in the Honshu area was very different from that in boreal regions. The strict correlation between fauna and flora and the archaeological data was not revealed during this study, but it is clear that future research requires interdisciplinary studies.
