성주사지 출토 평기와 제작기법의 변천과 실측기법 제안

Abstract

Seongju-temple, founded in A.D. 847 in Boryeong, is famous as one of the Nine Mountain Monasteries, and has undergone larger changes in five times since its foundation in Sabi period of the Baekje dynasty through the latter period of the Chosun dynasty as revealed in the excavation findings. By the analysis of main manufacturing techniques of the plain roofing-tiles collected from the layer based excavations, it was found that several manufacturing techniques such as mold type, beating direction, and modification method of the inner lower part of convex roofing-tile had changed reflecting the time variance. Especially the mold type of Migu roofing-tiles (tiered convex roofing-tiles) have changed since the mid-term of the Kyoro dynasty from the form that Migu part meets the main body at right angle into the form that makes no angles. Such type of mold connecting Migu and the main body without angles is same with the type of mold that make Tosu roofing-tiles (non-tiered convex roofing-tiles), it is concluded that the mold type of Migu roofing-tiles had changedin a way to promote the easiness of manufacturing and made in itself properties that could help doing periodizaiton. It was also found that Tosu roofing-tiles had been used in the Chosun dynasty. The form of tiles is difficult to change due to the functional restrictions, and their manufacturing techniques are not very sensitive to the temporal changes. But in Seongju-temple site, the changes of the major patterns are confirmed so that patterns are also useful in periodization in its way, and chronological recording will be much easier when analyzing by correlating with the manufacturing techniques. Meanwhile, the drawings of artifacts are able to be the most effective when they deliver the form and relevant properties of the manufacturing techniques clearly and concretely as possible. So far there has been a lot of skepticism about how drawings related to roofing-tiles are useful, so I proposed in this respect to create drawings of roofing-tilesusing the method of measurement of pottery.
