On the Inscription of the Hitomaro Poetry Collection (Man'yoshu Kenkyu
26, 2004)

sedoka."

The Origins of Writing in Early Japan (Columbia University Ph.D.
Dissertation,
2001).
- p. 13: "1300 B.C.E. to 350 B.C.E." CORRECTION: Recent
discoveries I was unaware of at the time I wrote the dissertation, and
calibration of
radiocarbon dates would necessitate reconsidering the dates of the
Jomon period (see Junko
Habu, Ancient Jomon of Japan
[Cambridge University Press, 2005]), but that is not the point of this
correction: what I meant to write was, of course, "13,000 B.C.E." (11
January 2005)
- p. 92, note 29: "Sugimoto and Mori 1985 also provide a useful
archaeologically focused commentary." CORRECTION: I don't what I was
thinking when I wrote this; apart from the awkward wording, it is just
wrong. The Sugimoto and Mori commentary is an important resource,
but it is primarily devoted to the exegesis of the text's wording and
to comparisons to other treatises on the "Eastern Barbarians." (11
January 2005)
- p. 206: "As of this writing, I am not aware of any discoveries
that have been announced as predating the Naniwa and Kannonji mokkan."
CORRECTION:
Strictly speaking this is not wrong, as when I wrote the sentence I was
not
aware of such discoveries. However, I should have been: in 1990
mokkan thought
to date back to the first half of the 7th century were excavated from
the
Uenomiya (上之宮) and Yamadadera (山田寺) sites in Nara prefecture.
These finds,
which do not significantly affect the broad arguments
presented
in the dissertation, are addressed in the book manuscript I am
currently
preparing.
