Summary:	Archaeological excavations have shown many important relationships between the culture of the Ryukyu Islands and that of surrounding areas. This text analyzes ceramic typology for southern Kyushu and proposed ceramic types and wares for the Ryukyus and Taiwan. The author suggests that cultural differences between Kyushu and the Ryukyus may have resulted from the isolation of small colonizing groups and through the interaction of the inhabitants within those differing environments.
