| Research Abstract |
The aim of this archaeological study is to compare the prehistoric culture of the Ryukyus with the cultures of the China sea areas.
There are such islands as Taiwan and Kainan Islands in the south of the Ryukyus.These islands in southeast China are categorized into Islands on the coastal side and those on the inland side where they are united in the river basin.The fesearch subjects common to tlie coastal area are : (1)some archaeological problems to adapt to each environment : (2)to contact between coastal side and inland side.
In this study, we first figured out the research conditions related to the comparison with the Ryukyus and the circumference.Next, we examined the prehistoric culture of southeast China in comparative study.
The chronology of prehistoric south China is divided into four stages( I 〜IV).The prehistoric culture of southeast China was culturally related with the Yangtze region, although it kept originality connected to its natural environment.
From the results of our study, there was an active cultuical exchange in about 2000 B.C. in the coastal side of southeast China.In those days, the various development of the diversification of the residence fomi and the diversifying utilization of the ocean resources were recognized.These became the contact views of the comparative study with the Ryukyus.At the same time, Okinawa developed its regional culture, which could be characterized by its distinctively non-Japanese(and non-Jomon)origin.
