Occupy
Hi
In 1992
Japanese archaeologists discovered a large Jomon town close to present-day
Aomori City, which was occupied from 5000 to 3500
BCE , and contained over a thousand buildings.
--- Does "occupy" here mean "inhabited" or "occupied by enemies"???

Without more context I would say "inhabited," but "occupied" is an odd word to choose here. Sounds like a discussion about hotel rooms.

This is the sentence which follows the previous one: The town shows evidence of craft specialisation, trade, metallurgy and other skills.
--- Does it say that in this town lived people who dealt with trading, metallurgy, craft and other things?

Well, it says that they found artifacts that seem to show that the people who lived there practiced different kinds of crafts, knew how to extract and work metals, and also traded with distant peoples. So, yes.
