Excerpt from The Ancient Pit-Dwellers of Yezo, Japan The writer has briefly summarized the evidence of Aino occupancy of Japan in the paper following this one. The character of the pot tery found in the shell-heaps is entirely different from any pottery made by the ancient Japanese. The material is the same as that of the Japanese sepulchral pottery, but the shapes of the vessels are not the same and the decoration upon them is absolutely distinctive. Strange as'it may seem, the pottery of the shell-heaps is far more elab oratel y decorated than any ancient pottery of Japanese origin.
