DESCRIPTION:Lunch Club provides affiliates of the Stanford Archaeology Cent
 er with a community-oriented forum for engagement with current issues in a
 rchaeology. On April 22\, 2026\,  we will host Dr. Junko Habu from UC Berk
 eley.\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis presentation aims to contribute to the interdis
 ciplinary discussion on the relationship between food/subsistence diversit
 y and biodiversity in Japan\, examining its continuity and change through 
 time from the Jomon period to the 1950s. Traditional food and subsistence 
 practices in Japan\, up to the 1950s\, emphasized the importance of subsis
 tence diversification\, environmental management\, long-term storage of st
 archy foods (including rice\, millets\, and nuts)\, and communal land owne
 rship (iriaichi). These practices were key strategies for the resilience o
 f foodways and lifeways. Archaeological data from the prehistoric Jomon pe
 riod support the hypothesis that subsistence diversity was critical for th
 e long-term sustainability of human-environment interactions. The presenta
 tion introduces relevant case studies primarily from northeastern Japan in
  both archaeological and ethnographic contexts.
