The emergency excavations have yielded a vast amount of archaeological materials from different historic and prehistoric periods, including numerous hunter-gatherer settlements attributed to the J¨­mon culture (ca. 16,000 ¨C 2500 cal BP). The dataset comprises the spatial location of 364 residential units attributed to the Middle and Late J¨­mon periods (ca. 5500-3200 cal BP) along with the spatial extent of the excavation areas, the 5-meter resolution digital elevation model of the Oyumino district, and an attribute table which includes the probability of existence of each pithouse for chronological intervals of 100 years. %K Aoristic Analysis %K GIS %K Hunter-Gatherers %K Jomon %K landscape %K Settlement Pattern %K Temporal Uncertainty %U http://openarchaeologydata.metajnl.com/article/view/7
