This study set out to to make an approach to the differences and changes of burial system including royal tombs and noble tombs among the ancient tombs distributed around the Woongjin and Sabi capital city by comparing them in the distribution pattern, the construction order among the individual tombs, and the structure of tomb. During the Woongjin and Sabi period, Baekje's ancient tombs followed the natural landform with royal and noble tombs built closer to the capital in general. Unlike the Woongjin period, the Sabi period witnessed the further systemization of tomb arrangement, which is due to the hierarchy of tomb and the clear regulations involved in tomb construction. The royal and noble tombs built around the capital city of Baekje during the Woongjin and Sabi period were categorized based on the structure of tomb according to the stage(late 5th century), when the mainstream was stone chamber tomb with a vaulted ceiling of a square or rectangular form, the stage(early and middle 6th century), when brick chamber tomb of an rectangular form appeared and had impacts on stone chamber tomb, and the stage(since the late 6th century), when stone chamber tomb of a narrow rectangular form become mainstream. These changes of burial system throughout the stages were respectively influenced by the attempted revival of Baekje through the introduction of the brick chamber tomb from the Southern Dynasties of China in the latter part of the Woongjin period, the appearance of an institutionalized capital and burial system following transfer of the new Sabi capital city on its extension, and the ordering of official ranks and the pursuit of practicality according to the progress of institutionalization after the transfer of Sabi capital.

In this paper, a series of scientific analyses were conducted on Baekje pottery excavated from the Hwacheon Woncheon-ri site in order to explore the possibility of distribution of pottery which was produced in the central area of Baekje to this site, as well as to identify the nature of the production technology at this site. To this end, Baekje ceramic samples excavated from the site of Woncheon-ri, Hwacheon were selected. In addition, ceramic samples from the Gyeongdang District of Pungnab Fortress were also selected and analyzed as contemporaneous, comparable artifacts. In order to increase the resolution of the provenance study, Ceramic Petrography and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis were adopted. As a result, it could be identified that utilitarian pottery and prestige pottery from the Woncheon-ri site in Hwacheon shared common attributes in terms of the raw material that was used. This result strongly suggests that at least some of the vessels had been produced by the same production group or community. In addition, prestige ceramics excavated from the Woncheon-ri site illustrate a pattern of separation from the prestige ceramics of Pungnab Fortress, which suggests that the prestige pottery of the Baekje center may not have been distributed to the Hwacheon area during this period. In other words, it appears likely that the production community of prestige pottery may have operated within or around the Hwacheon area at the time.

On January 23, 2017, I investigated the inscription sword(有銘環頭大刀) housed in the National Museum of Tokyo. In this paper, based on the various facts and reports obtained at the time, the manufacturing process of the sword was restored, and the production location, the year of manufacture, and historical significance were examined. As a result, it was found that it was highly likely that the inscription sword was made in Daegaya(大加耶) in the late 5th century. In addition, through the inscription word, we could get a glimpse of the writing level of Daegaya at that time and the technology of Daegaya that was spread to the Japanese archipelago. In the background, it can be seen that there was a high political development of Daegaya, which was established until the territorial state stage in the late 5th century.

It is not recent that archaeological description becomes the first chapter of local history. On the other hand, archaeologists have rigorously participated in the projects utilizing historical materials, which have been spurred by flourishing local autonomy. Nevertheless, we cannot find apparent evidence that the archaeologists participated in the discussion of local/regional history since about 2000. This discrepancy is likely to bring archaeology’s maladaptation. Feeling uncomfortable to that, I attempt at seeking for possibility and practical pathways to take part in current local/regional history discussion. It includes some theme that Korean archaeology has not been interested in, but it is necessary for incorporation with lcoal/regional history, such as ①center and peripheries, ②local perspectives, ③bottom-up approaches and microscopic perspectives, ④floating concept of community, ⑤social actors in the frontier, and ⑥colonial encounter. Furthermore, I look at some problem likely to be encountered if we would not consider in participating in theoretical discussion and project relevant to local/regional history: regional supremacism, invented tradition and history education without nationality.

This paper attempts to classify the types of ring ditches from the Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age in the region called Hoseo today. In addition, it examines their features and how they have been changed. A total of five types are identified: Type Ⅰ, which has multiple rows, a flat irregular shape, and residential areas inside; Type Ⅱ, which has a single row, a flat circle or oval shape, and a vacant lot inside, but only a ring ditch is constructed; Type Ⅲ, also similar to Type Ⅱ, which is adjacent to residential space outside; Type Ⅳ, which has a single row, a flat oval shape, and including living relics inside; Type Ⅴ, similar to Type Ⅵ, but no relics existed inside the ring ditch. Type Ⅰ has separated residential groups according to ring ditch. Therefore, it could guess that it was a means that indicates hierarchies within a village. In terms of Type Ⅱ~Ⅴ, they are strongly considered ceremonial uses because of the following reasons. First of all, their ring ditches surround the top of the hill. Secondly, places separated by ring ditches are a vacant lot or have a few habitations found inside of them. The last one is the presence of entrances to them. Despite the types having a lot in common, they also show significant differences in the scale. The Type Ⅳ·Ⅴ seems that more labour was put into its construction because of its relatively large scale compared to the Type Ⅱ·Ⅲ. Furthermore, it is presumed that it played a role not only in the ceremony but also in making their community strengthen. When it comes to time, in the Hoseo area, Type Ⅰ first appeared in the early period of the Bronze Age, then followed by Type Ⅱ and Type Ⅲ. Afterwards, Type Ⅳ newly appeared in the latter period. Eventually, in the Early Iron Age, Type Ⅳ and Type Ⅴ coexisted, and Type Ⅱ·Ⅲ has not been longer identified. Since the result that estimated the scope of ritual ceremony illustrates that there are a number of remains in the visible areas of Type Ⅱ rather than Type Ⅲ, Type Ⅱ would have been a communal place that encompassed much more groups. Moreover, the number of remains in the visible areas is the same in the case of Type Ⅳ and Type Ⅴ in spite of their scale difference. It could lead to the possibility that Type Ⅳ, relatively large, did not cover the wider community. Thus, the Type Ⅳ could be the ring ditch managed by a similar scale of community to the Type Ⅴ.

This paper is an analytical research of semi-subterranean houses in the Joseon period, focusing on the temporal changes in the structure and artifacts. Total 29 dwellings of the Joseon period were unearthed at Hwanggol site of Majeong-ri in Anseong. The floor plans of the houses were rectangular, square, circular, oval, unclear, and 呂-shaped. Along with pits and postholes, there were fireplaces and floor heating systems as internal facilities of the houses. Total 13 fireplaces were classified into A type and B type according to the structure. Type A, being built with protruding the house wall in a reversed U-shape, was larger than type B being built on the house wall. Considering its quite small size and absence of cooking-related facilities and tools, the fireplace seemed to have performed function of lighting or heating rather than that of cooking. The structure of only 3 was recognizable out of the 6 floor heating systems uncovered at Hangul site. The floor heating systems were reported from only unclear and 呂- shaped floor plan houses. The space of the 呂-shaped floor plan house was separated by heating facility centering on the fireplace. In the flue system consisting of a fireplace, a flue system part, and a smoke control part, a line of flue system was connected to the smoke control part by turning in a circular or square way along the house wall. The floor heating system of unclear floor plan house at the west slope of the site consisted of a fireplace and a flue system part, and the 3 lines of flue system extended to the direction of the contour. Classification of these houses based on heating and cooking facilities yielded 3 main types and 4 subtypes as following: TypeⅠ with no facilities, TypeⅡ only with a fireplace, TypeⅢ only with a floor heating system; TypeⅡ was again subdivided intoTypeⅡ-1 and Ⅱ-2 to the projection of smoke control part or not; TypeⅢ was also subdivided into TypeⅢ-1 and Ⅲ-2 to the structure of floor heating system. Consideration on uncovered artifacts helped to divided houses into two groups. While one group of houses yielded buncheong ware (a grayish-blue-powdered celadon), bamboo - joint foots, and white porcelains with clay support , the other group yielded white porcelains with sand support without buncheong ware. Buncheong ware was popular from the late 15C to 16C, bamboo-joint foot and white porcelain with clay support were popular from the early 15C to the late 16C. Considering the emergence of the sand support technique in the 17C, the date of houses was divided into before and after the 17C. Hwanggol site of Majeong-ri in Anseong, yielding archaeological features including pit houses, sites of buildings, firing features, and drainage facilities can be understood as residential sites occupied from the 15C to 17C and after.

It was understood that pottery production developed into a hierarchical organization with the expansion of mass production and distribution. In this study, we will try to compare and review the changes in the pottery production organization in Honam and Yeongnam regions, which have been integrated into different political groups. During the Three Kingdoms Period, a database of kilns was established to establish four types of kilns. The type and consumption of production pottery were inferred for each type to confirm production and distribution. Type A and B pottery kilns produced utilitarian pottery with villages as their main consumption sites, but there are differences in size and location. Type C mainly produces burial pottery and can define the main consumption site as an ancient tomb. Type D is a production area where large-scale kiln, it was located outside the center of each political body at the time to meet the demand for pottery. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms period, type A and B coexist, and type C and D emerge as political groups in each region grow. In particular, there is a clear difference between C type in Yeongnam and B type in Honam. In the Yeongnam, a tradition of burial rituals called the mass burial of pottery was formed, affecting production. In the Honam, it could be seen that a large change in the pottery production organization was closely related to the appearance of the central village. Depending on the region, the nature of the main consumer site and the type of demand show a distinct difference. It is confirmed that different types coexist and the difference in proportion varies depending on the time, not the single-line development of mass production in a small scale.

One of the cardinal global issues of our time is to ferret out determinants of sustainability of human society. Archaeology has long identified and addressed endogenous and exogenous variables and mechanisms which are keys to elucidating continuity and termination of past societies. This critical review addresses a brief overview of some major theoretical constructs – overshoot, diminishing marginal returns and resilience theory – as they are related to the sustainability discourses. Their applicability in archaeological research settings and limitations thereof are also discussed. A rigorous review of the research on the demise of the Bronze Age sub-periods in Korean peninsula reveals that the related research is scarce except for studies considering climate change as the main variable. Paleo-environmental and climatic reconstruction at an enhanced higher resolution show it is not easy to identify the causal relationships between the climatic conditions and the social changes through Bronze Age. In order to lucidly articulate and delineate emergence and decline of Bronze Age sub-period cultures and societies, environmental, social and cultural resilience must be reconsidered. In particular, the role of rice agriculture played in the contexts of social complexity and economic systems ought to be reexamined and reassessed. Ultimately, it is suggested that employing a heuristic model would contribute to heightening our present understanding of the diversified developments and demise of the Bronze Age cultures.

In particular, the role of rice agriculture played in the contexts of social complexity and economic systems ought to be reexamined and reassessed. Ultimately, it is suggested that employing a heuristic model would contribute to heightening our present understanding of the diversified developments and demise of the Bronze Age cultures. \u0000","PeriodicalId":131051,"journal":{"name":"The hoseo Archaeological Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128044619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new technologies of ceramic production, such as wheel-turning, paddling and firing in reducing-atmosphere, were widely diffused into the Northeastern periphery of East Asia during the Proto-historic period. As the Yan(燕) State established political and military outposts in the Liaoning area in the late Warring States period, new technologies accepted in the expanded territory also affected the ceramic production in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The previous researches on the transformation of ceramic production technology and organization in the Proto-historic period Northeast Asia have focused on the question of when and from where the technology was accepted, but this study attempted to explain it as a time-space process of the technological innovation. When the potters with new techniques and their production organizations migrated into a certain region, the contact with the potters from indigenous communities that produced ceramic wares in traditional methods took place. As potters based on different technological systems came into contact, the technology that had been introduced with the migration of potter was transmitted to the indigenous potters through the fabrication learning, and they acquired the new bodily techniques to produce traditional and new ceramic vessels. With these technological transformations, indigenous groups develop into a complex society and develop a new organization for the ceramic production. Along with these technological changes, a new specialized organization of ceramic production developed between indigenous communities. This paper attempted a comparative explanation of the processes of technological innovations in two different regions, the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula and the upper Han-River valley, based on the agency theory.

Based on the results of the excavation of the Janggobong Ancient Tomb in Bangsan-ri, Haenam, this paper reviewed the structural characteristics of the stone chamber and examined the background and meaning of the emergence of the Janggobong Ancient Tombs. The Janggobong Ancient Tomb is identified as the “open coffin” in the Kyushu region of Japan and multiple chamber structures and are understood as “the creative type” built by the material limitations of construction stone and indigenous construction methods (sealed soil). Considering that it is structurally similar to the stone chamber of the Janggobong Ancient Tomb, it is identified as the Saba-Mitoyo-type stone chamber in the Setouchi coastal area of Japan. Among them, the stone chamber in the front part of the Kurumazuka Ancient Tomb is very similar to that of the Janggobong Ancient Tomb in the size and planar form, the wall stone construction method, the shape of the ceiling stone, the ceiling height of the tomb room and the front room, and the shape of the door pillars at the main gate. The Janggobong Ancient Tomb and the Saba-Mitoyo-type Stone Chamber correspond to the “creative” stone chamber combined with indigenous characteristics under the influence of Kyushu-type stone chamber. The emergence of the “creative” stone chamber has the background of interaction between Baekje and Japan after the 5th century, when a new relationship was established and routes were pioneered. In this exchange and negotiation interaction, the forces represented by the Janggobong Ancient Tomb in Haenam and the Saba and Mitoyo regions of the Setouchi Sea in Japan actively used geopolitical points corresponding to the path of coastal routes to promote growth from an intermediary's point of view, and as a result, it is presumed that the “creative” stone chamber was created.
