Junko Habu, Professor

Junko Habu's research focuses primarily on the study of prehistoric Jomon hunter-gatherers on the Japanese archipelago. She has tended to adopt an ecological framework with an emphasis on the study of subsistence and settlement, while not dismissing the importance of non-ecological factors such as historical contingency and human agency.
