Abstract

Archaeological surveys in Gangwon Province have been around 100 years since the 1912 survey of the Gangneung Ancient Tomb by the Japanese. A large number of archaeological materials have been piled up as the excavation work began in earnest in the 1980s with the nationwide development craze. In Gangwon Province, related research was also actively carried out due to this data accumulation. Recent research trends have been reviewed and future challenges presented. We looked at the period-by-era aspects of the papers published in the journal, and how many archaeological papers centered in Gangwon Province have been published in the national journals. The result was not optimistic. He pointed out that research on Gangwon studies has not spread across the country and is being consumed only in the region. In other words, he stressed the need to study Gangwon Archaeology in the context of the entire Korean Peninsula. I mentioned several tasks in that light. It should be actively reviewed that there is a unique culture such as the site of Cheonjeon-ri in the middle of the Bronze Age. And it reminded us that archaeological careful analysis should precede the debate on national names. It also pointed out that the study of the Three Kingdoms Period was insufficient in Gangwon Province compared to other regions. Of course, although the number of tombs on the Korean Peninsula is significantly smaller than in other areas, the tombs of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are distributed in Gangwon-do, and their burial grounds were also constructed from wooden tombs to stone tombs and transverse blood dining rooms. Therefore, it was thought that it would be possible to clearly reveal the identity of the ancient Gangwon Province by carefully analyzing ancient tombs distributed in Gangwon Province and tracking the changes. We expect a lot of up-and-coming researchers to work on these challenges.
