Form and Characteristics of Miniature farming Tools in the Geum River Basin

Abstract

These days, relics that used to have regional specificity tend to deviate from their specificity due to the active cultural property excavation research. It is necessary to recognize the newly identified area. Therefore, among the archaeological materials that strongly reflect regional specificity, we paid attention to the Miniature farming tools accumulated around the Geum River basin. The Miniature farming tools can be divided into ttabi type, cheolseo type, iron axe type, and sickle type. Data from the Geum River basin also show high excavation rates for Iron Axe type and sickle type, although the warm and cheolseo type are also identified. Cheoljun is one of the characteristic iron artifacts excavated from the Geum River basin. Compared to the Daegaya sphere, this was identified as a ttabi-type Miniature farming tool, and the plane shape and cross-sectional shape were considered to be more likely to have been produced under the influence of the Daegaya sphere rather than generated and produced within the Geum River basin. Iron axe-type Miniature farming tools are again divided into I-shaped and V-shaped in crosssectional form, and the I-shaped is the same as or similar to those confirmed in the Daegaya sphere, so it is thought to be highly relevant. On the other hand, the V-shaped is also excavated from the remains of the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, which is confirmed around the Geum River basin, and is similar to the form of Iron axe, which has been produced and used for a long time, so it is thought that the traditional method was inherited. Although there is a limit to linking data excavated from the Geum River basin with Miniature farming tools excavated from the Daegaya sphere, data that are likely to have been produced in a manner similar to that of the Daegaya sphere in both plane and cross-sectional shapes were identified. From these data, it can be seen that there are also data that are more likely to have flowed into Baekje sphere from Daegaya sphere than from Baekje sphere.
