硫黄鳥島は沖縄県に所属し琉球王国の貿易を支えた。現在は無人島だが、奄美群島特に徳之島との近接性は、さほど研究の対象になっていなかった。他でその歴史の全体性を扱ったので、ここに焦点を合わせた。また生活痕跡を生活環境要素の総合性を意識して、フィールド調査成果をまとめた。Iou-torishima（ “iou” meaning sulphur and“ tori” meaning bird） is currentlyan uninhabited island that used to mine sulphur. The sulphur trade supported theRrykyu Kingdom, this is th main reason for their keeping territory, and still nowbelonging to the Okinawa Prefecture. So far, not many researches have looked atits relationship with the Amami Archipelago despite its proximity, especially tothe Tokunoeshima Island. We take the opportunity here to put focus on this as thehistory was taken into account else where. This paper summarizes the f ield researchconducted on the life traces of island life prior to migration with reference to thecomprehensive f ive human environmental elements; livelihood ware.
