The name of "ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments is derived from Chinese ornaments. They are shaped like a "C" and have cut lines.<BR>Two hypotheses on the main method of wearing ketsu-shaped ear ornaments are below. One way is piercing the ear lobe, inserting the "ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments into that foramen and hanging them with the opening of the "C" fac-ing down. Another is placing the ear lobe in the opening of the "C". The author thought of which hypotheses is proba-ble in this paper. Two methods to test are reviewing cases of "ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments found with human bone, those in pairs unearthed inside burial pits and morphological research of those. In conclusion, the former method seems more likely.<BR>Additionally, the author thought of alterations in features of ear ornaments. Ear ornaments in Early and Middle Jo-mon changed as follows. First came "ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments of stone. Second came "ketsu"-shaped ear orna-ments of clay; third, a type of those altered plug-shaped ear ornaments. The change in geographical distribution fol-lows. "Ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments of stone were found throughout East Asia. Clay "Ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments, were found in eastern Japan. Plug-shaped ear ornaments were similar to those of clay. Analysis of bones found with "ketsu"-shaped ear ornaments show both sexes wore the ornaments. In contrast, analysis of bones found with plug-shaped ear ornaments are all female, as well as ear ornaments of deep pots decorated with masks and figures, similar to primitive plug-shaped ear ornaments in Middle Jomon period.<BR>As described above, it appears that ear ornaments transformed into ornaments of female shamans of goddess-based religions in broad-leaved deciduous forests.
