Genealogy and Distribution of the Variety of SUE Ceramics in the Ryukyu Archipelago

本研究项目的主要发现如下：(1)从鹿儿岛县的萨玛半岛到琉球群岛的哈特鲁马和与那古尼群岛的350处遗址中都可以发掘出种类丰富的Sue陶瓷。(2)为了考察Sue陶瓷品种的谱系，我们收集了韩国高丽时期的Sue陶瓷的信息和材料，这些材料被认为与Sue陶瓷的品种特征相似。然而，在没有足够证据的情况下，我们无法将收集到的材料与现阶段的Sue陶瓷品种进行比较。(3)我们对被认为生产Sue陶瓷品种的德岛Kamuiyaki窑址进行了实验研究。实验装置包括地磁学、电子学等物理科学技术的窑址探测仪和不同品种陶瓷陶土的X射线荧光分析。我们还收集了每个分店的Sue陶瓷材料的品种，以便进一步分析。我们得出的结论是，根据生产技术和形态的组成模式，从龟山窑址收集的材料(苏瓷的品种)可以分为两类。

Major findings of this research project are as follows :(1)We found that the Variety of SUE Ceramics could be excavated from the 350 sites ranging from Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima prefecture to Hateruma and Yonaguni Islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago.(2)In order to investigate the genealogy of the Variety of SUE Ceramics, we collected information and materials about the Ceramics from Korean Korai period, which had been considered to have similar characteristics to the Variety of SUE Ceramics. We were, however, unable to compare the materials we have collected with the Variety of SUE Ceramics at the present stage without enough evidence to go on.(3)We conducted experimental research for Kamuiyaki Kiln Sites in Tokunoshima Island, which were considered to produce the Variety of SUE Ceramics. The devices of the experimentation included the Kiln sites probe with physical science technology, such as geomagnetism and electronics, and the X-ray Fluorescence Analysis for the ware soil of the Variety of SUE Ceramics. We also collected the Variety of SUE Ceramics material from each branch site for further analysis. We came to our conclusion that the materials (the Variety of SUE Ceramics) collected from Kamuiyaki Kiln Sites could be divided into two groups depending on the techniques used for production and the composition patterns of their forms.
