| Research Abstract |
This study re-examined the process of the Ryukyu government formation beginning with the Gusuku times in the eighteenth-century from the standpoint that it is necessary to revision the historical circumstances of the Ryukyu Islands in accordance with the recent advancement in archaeology of the Amami area. It was clarified that external impacts including immigration played a more important role than internal development on the Okinawa Island in social and cultural formation in this period.
