The Final Jomon convered the period of Jomon history from around 1000 to 400 BCE.

This was a period of crisis for Jomon populations: after 1500 BCE, the climate cooled, and populations seem to have contracted dramatically. Comparatively few archeological sites can be found after 1500 BCE.

By the end of the Jomon period, a dramatic shift had taken place according to archaeological studies. New arrivants from the continent seem to invaded Japan from the West, bringing with them new technologies such as rice farming and metallurgy. The settlements of the new arrivants seem to have coexisted with those of the Jomon for some time. Under these influences, the Incipient cultivation of the Jomon evolved into sophisticated rice-paddy farming and government control. Many other elements of Japanese culture also may date from this period and reflect a mingled migration from the northern Asian continent and the southern Pacific areas. Among these elements are Shinto mythology, marriage customs, architectural styles, and technological developments, such as lacquerware, textiles, metalworking, and glass making.
