Early Jomon is the first stage in the Jomon era of Japanese pre-history. The Jomon period itself ranged from 10,000 to 300 BCE. This stage lasted from 4000 to 3000 BCE. The Early Jomon is characterized by the high sea level (2 to 3 meters higher than the modern day) and a significant population increase. ^[1]

This period saw a rise in complexity in the design of pit houses, the most commonly used method of housing at the time. ^[2]
