The total area is 32.05 km (12.37 sq mi). The area of modern Miura has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeologists have uncovered numerous remains from

84-574: Is named and designed after. Misaki is an important fishing harbor, mainly specializing in the processing of tuna. The harbor also has a quay which can accommodate sailboats from neighboring marinas. Agriculture remains important to the local economy, especially watermelon and daikon . Miura is home to Misaki Fisheries High School, a specialist fishery high school. The school trains students in one of four commercial fisheries skills: radio communications, engineering, food processing, and ocean fishing. The school maintains two fishing vessels, one of which

112-621: Is not clear-cut and tends to indicate a fair amount of genetic intermixing between the earliest populations of Japan and later arrivals ( Cavalli-Sforza ). It is estimated that modern Japanese have about 10% Jōmon ancestry. Jōmon people were found to have been very heterogeneous. Jōmon samples from the Ōdai Yamamoto I Site differ from Jōmon samples of Hokkaido and geographically close eastern Honshu . Ōdai Yamamoto Jōmon were found to have C1a1 and are genetically close to ancient and modern Northeast Asian groups but noteworthy different to other Jōmon samples such as Ikawazu or Urawa Jōmon. Similarly,

Miura is well known for the Miura Marathon which is normally held in the first week of March. The race consists of three events: 5 kilometer, 10 kilometer, and a half marathon . Japanese paleolithic The Japanese Paleolithic period ( 旧石器時代 , kyūsekki jidai )

168-536: Is the period of human inhabitation in Japan predating the development of pottery, generally before 10,000 BC. The starting dates commonly given to this period are from around 40,000 BC, with recent authors suggesting that there is good evidence for habitation from c. 36,000 BC onwards. The period extended to the beginning of the Mesolithic Jōmon period , or around 14,000 BC. The earliest human bones were discovered in

196-554: Is unique in that it incorporates one of the earliest known sets of ground stone and polished stone tools in the world, although older ground stone tools have been discovered in Australia. The tools, which have been dated to around 30,000 BC, are a technology associated in the rest of the world with the beginning of the Neolithic around 10,000 BC. It is not known why such tools were created so early in Japan. Because of this originality,

224-720: The Japanese paleolithic , Jōmon and Yayoi periods . From the late Heian period through the end of the Sengoku period , the area was ruled by the Miura clan , until they were annihilated by the rival Hojo clan . The local inlet of Aburatsubo is said to be named for this event. During the Edo period , it was tenryō territory ruled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate . After the Meiji Restoration ,

252-572: The Kamitakamori site , where he "found" the artifacts the next day. He admitted the fabrication in an interview with the newspaper. The Japanese Archaeological Association disaffiliated Fujimura from its members. A special investigation team of the Association revealed that almost all the artifacts which he had found were his fabrication. Since the discovery of the hoax, only a few sites can tentatively date human activity in Japan to 40,000–50,000 BC, and

280-820: The Nagano Jōmon from the Yugora cave site are closely related to contemporary East Asians but genetically different from the Ainu people , who are direct descendants of the Hokkaido Jōmon. One study, published in the Cambridge University Press in 2020, suggests that the Jōmon people were rather heterogeneous, and that many Jōmon groups were descended from an ancient "Altaic-like" population (close to modern Tungusic -speakers, represented by Oroqen ), which established itself over

336-504: The Japanese Paleolithic period in Japan does not exactly match the traditional definition of Paleolithic based on stone technology ( chipped stone tools). Japanese Paleolithic tool implements thus display Mesolithic and Neolithic traits as early as 30,000 BC. The Paleolithic populations of Japan, as well as the later Jōmon populations, appear to relate to an ancient Paleo-Asian group which occupied large parts of Asia before

364-486: The Jōmon and various paleolithic and Bronze Age Siberians. There were likely multiple migrations into ancient Japan. According to Mitsuru Sakitani , the Jōmon people were an admixture of two distinct ethnic groups: A more ancient group (carriers of Y chromosome D1a) that were present in Japan since more than 30,000 years ago and a more recent group (carriers of Y chromosome C1a) that migrated to Japan about 13,000 years ago (Jomon). Genetic analysis on today's populations

392-675: The Sinodont group, which points to an origin among groups in Southeast Asia or the islands south of the mainland. Skull features tend to be stronger, with comparatively recessed eyes. According to “ Jōmon culture and the peopling of the Japanese archipelago ” by Schmidt and Seguchi, the prehistoric Jōmon people descended from a paleolithic populations of Siberia (in the area of the Altai Mountains ). Other cited scholars point out similarities between

448-487: The beginning of the Jōmon stratum (14,000 BC), and were not carried on further. However, since that first Paleolithic find by Tadahiro Aizawa , around 5,000 Paleolithic sites have been discovered, some of them at existing Jōmon archaeological sites, and some dating to the Pleistocene era. Sites have been discovered from southern Kyushu to northern Hokkaido , but most are small and only stone tools have been preserved due to

476-604: The city of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture , which were determined by radiocarbon dating to date to around 18,000–14,000 years ago. The study of the Paleolithic period in Japan did not begin until quite recently: the first Paleolithic site was not discovered until 1946, right after the end of World War II . Due to the previous assumption that humans did not live in Japan before the Jōmon period , excavations usually stopped at

504-631: The country as a reference. A very important such layer is the AT ( Aira - Tanzawa ) pumice , which covered all Japan around 21,000–22,000 years ago. In 2000, the reputation of Japanese archaeology of the Paleolithic was heavily damaged by a scandal, which has become known as the Japanese Paleolithic hoax . The Mainichi Shimbun reported the photos in which Shinichi Fujimura , an amateur archaeologist in Miyagi Prefecture , had been planting artifacts at

532-499: The expansion of the populations characteristic of today's people of China , Korea , and Japan . During much of this period, Japan was connected to the Asian continent by land bridges due to lower sea levels. Skeletal characteristics point to many similarities with other aboriginal people of the Asian continent. Dental structures are distinct but generally closer to the Sundadont than to

560-458: The first widely accepted date of human presence on the archipelago can be reliably dated c.  35,000 BC . One of the most important sites dating to these times is Lake Nojiri , which dates to 37,900 years Before Present (~36,000 BC), which shows evidence of butchery of two of the largest extinct megafauna species native to Japan, the elephant Palaeoloxodon naumanni , and the giant deer Sinomegaceros yabei . The Japanese Paleolithic

588-548: The high acidity of the Japanese soil. As the Paleolithic peoples probably occupied the wide coastal shelves exposed by lower sea levels during the Pleistocene, the majority of sites are most likely inundated. The study of the Japanese Paleolithic period is characterized by a high level of stratigraphic information due to the volcanic nature of the archipelago: large eruptions tend to cover the islands with levels of Volcanic ash , which are easily datable and can be found throughout

616-409: The line to the city center have been abandoned. Miura came to some infamy in 2001 after the dismembered body of Lucie Blackman was found in a seaside cave a few hundred meters from the apartment of serial rapist , Joji Obara . Miura has been the arrival point of several trans-Pacific sailboat races, such as the 1969 San Francisco-Tokyo Transpacific Yacht Race . Misaki was also the arrival point of

644-516: The local hunter gatherers. This “Altaic-like” population migrated from Northeast Asia in about 6,000 BC, and coexisted with other unrelated tribes and or intermixed with them, before being replaced by the later Yayoi people . C1a1 and C2 are linked to the " Tungusic-like people ", which arrived in the Jōmon period archipelago from Northeast Asia in about 6,000 BC and introduced the Incipient Jōmon culture, typified by early ceramic cultures such as

672-466: The next few days. No major tsunami was recorded. On January 1, 1955, Misaki absorbed neighboring Minami-Shitaura Town and Hasse Village to create the city of Miura. The city was connected to the Tokyo Metropolis by rail on July 7, 1966 with the opening of Miurakaigan Station on the outskirts of the city. The line was extended to Misakiguchi Station on April 26, 1975, but plans to further extend

700-495: The record solo circumnavigation of 71-year-old Minoru Saito , on June 6, 2005. Miura is located on the very southern end of Miura Peninsula in southeast Kanagawa Prefecture, surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean , with Sagami Bay to the west. To the south of the urban area and port is the island of Jōgashima , connected to the city by a bridge. It is a popular destination for weekend tourism. The Jōgashima Lighthouse

756-566: The town of Misaki within Miura District, Kanagawa was created on April 1, 1889. The town was electrified in 1913, but did not have running water until 1934. The area was badly shaken during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake , which had its epicenter in Sagami Bay just a few kilometers offshore from the city. The whole geographical area around the city was lifted by about 10 meters by tectonic movement, before subsiding to its original level during

784-448: Was built by the French engineer Léonce Verny at the end of the 19th century. Per Japanese census data, the population of Miura peaked in the 1990s and has declined since. The economy of the city is dominated by commercial fishing , centered on the harbor of Misaki, Japan's 18th most important fishing harbor, and the 2nd for its catch of tuna , which the local mascot of Miura Tunanosuke
