Problems and Prospects
Models should be kept simple to examine particular relationships between factors, but the actual socio-cultural processes are incredibly complex. It should be noted that the migration, birth, and death rates are constant for all agents in the current setting, in order to examine the relationship between variables.
The constant rate of migration for 500 years is not realistic for the case of the Jomon-Yayoi transition. We need to examine further the effect of social learning types on the spread of cultural skill, taking the nature of kinship structure and gender into consideration. How polygamy and different rates of reproduction would affect the model should also be investigated. What we regret at this point is that the current study does not make best use of the agent-based simulation. We are hoping to introduce decision-making processes concerning marriage, reproduction, and gender-related differences in cultural transmission to our model and investigate the nature of the Jomon-Yayoi transition further. Although our simulation project is still at a preliminary stage, further examination and comparison with detailed archaeological data promise to produce sounder results.Acknowledgments We deeply appreciate many valuable suggestions from Joan Anton Barcelo and anonymous reviewers for improving this article.
