シーリ遺構から見る御内原のくらし 一平成19年度首里城跡御内原北地区発掘調介から一

The life of the Uuchibaru as seen from the Shiiri -Excavation Research of the Northen Uuchibaru area, Shuri Castle site in 2007 fiscal year-

When the Shuri Castle was excavated during the 2007 fiscal year, a structure called the Shiiri was unearthed. It was made of stones and believed to have been used as a garbage dump. The feature yielded not only chinaware dating to the l 7th century AD but also numerous ecofacts. From these data, it is possible to reconstruct past lifeways at the Uuchibaru. This paper attempts to reconstruct past lifeways at the site based on recovered materials and interviews with elder people who knew about the Shuri Castle in the early 1900s.
