This is the first book-length study of the Yayoi and Kofun periods of Japan (c.600 BC–AD 700), in which the beginning of rice paddy-field farming ignited the rapid development of social complexity and hierarchy that culminated with the formation of the ancient state. A must-read for those interested in Japanese and East Asian history and archaeology, state formation, and archaeological theory.
