The present author visited El Salvador in August, 2007. In El Salvador, even the present, some workshops produce roof-tiles with craft of “Spanish roof-tiles” introduced by Spanish people. Current houses in El Salvador are roofed with concave flat-tiles, on the other hand eave tiles were not observed in this visit. As for the craft of roof-tiles production, workshops produce tiles with a table which make a tile concave. The structure of kilns built of bricks, with holes connected to the chamber for firing is similar to the structure of Japanese updraft kilns with roaster. This article shows results of ethnological researches which taken at 3 roof-tiles workshops in El Salvador. These results not only contribute to Salvadoran archaeology and ethnology, but also become ethnological data for the study about history of Japanese roof-tile production.
