In Japan, the Jomon period was preceded by the Paleolithic period, a long period of cooler temperatures, and was followed by the Yayoi period, characterized by paddy rice cultivation and agriculture. Northern Japan, where the Jomon Prehistoric Sites are located, has varied landforms, such as mountains, hills, plains, and lowlands, as well as inner bays, lakes and marshes, and rivers with an abundant flow of water. This area is blessed with forests and aquatic resources. Cool-temperate deciduous broadleaved forests consisting chiefly of beech spread widely, and the intersection of warm and cold currents create ideal fishing conditions off the coast.
