The hunter-gatherers of the period Jomon (13,680-410 BC) were not agricultural farmers. They were semi-nomadic, they would have lived in one of three main eco-systems: the inland mountain forests and around the freshwater lakes; or they would migrate seasonally between the forest and river estuaries; or between the Pacific beaches and rocky bluffs and the wooded highlands around the coast.
