| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to investigate the first stage of cereals cultivation and international exchange in the Ryukyu Islands, because agriculture and trade are the best two important economic elements for the formation of Ruykyu kingdom in the 12^<th> and 15^<th> century. For this purpose I took two archaeological ways, one is to excavate a site for finding plant remains, the other is to discuss shell trade between Ryukyu and Tang dynasty of China. At the excavation of Nagarabaru-higashi shell mound in le Island which locates at the north east of Okinawa mainland in 1999-2002, we succeeded to extract small number of rice and wheel from the layer of about the 6^<th> century, and these are the earliest cereal remains in Ryukyus now. For shell exchange I arrived at the conclusion that in the 7^<th> and 9^<th> century Chinese people very possibly came to Ryukyus to collect Green-snail shells in order to make mother of pearl work, I discussed this subject from Chinese coin Kaigen-tsuho of Tang dynasty which appeared in large area of Ryukyus in the 7^<th> and 10^<th> century.
It is possible to mention that people in Ryukyu of the 6^<th> and 7^<th> century at least began to have some cereals and economical relationship with China, though we still haye many problem about the beginning of cereals cultivation to discuss.
