Abstract

This paper was written to examine the origin and formation process of Goguryeo pottery, focusing on the Wanfabozi Site in Tonghua city of Jilin Province, China. That site is the important historical site for the cultural relationship between Gojoseon and Goguryeo. As a result of reviewing the pottery from the Early Iron Age of Wanfabozi Site, it was found that some elements such as the mounted base and the handles were changing while inheriting the tradition of pottery from the Bronze Age. In the stone-typed tombs of the 4th period, similar types of pottery were commonly buried despite the different types of tombs. This burial pattern of pottery was also found in the Stone Mound Tomb during the establishment of the Goguryeo Kingdom. So, it was possible to guess that the historical tradition of pottery continued until after Goguryeo. However, it seems that the group that lived in the Wanfabozi Site did not play an important role in the founding process of Goguryeo due to the lower proportion of remains in Goguryeo period. Meanwhile, this paper examined various pottery from the time before and after the establishment of Goguryeo, including the Wunü Mountain Fortress and the Wangjianlou Site, which are the core site of Goguryeo, to clarify the origins of Goguryeo pottery. As a result, the deep bowl with vertical band shaped handle was difficult to find a direct link with the tradition of pottery in the early Iron Age. On the other hand, it has been confirmed that some of the pottery from the stone-typed tombs, including the Wangjianlou Site, continued to the traditions of the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age until the early Goguryeo period. However, it is necessary to be careful as various relics of Wangjianlou Site, including pottery, are closely related to Buyeo. In conclusion, Goguryeo pottery appears to have been influenced by external influences including Buyeo, although the group that lived in the Hun River basin and the upper middle of Yalu River inherited some of the pottery production tradition from the late Bronze Age. Of courese, the issue of the origin and formation of Goguryeo culture should be comprehensively dealt with not only pottery but also various archaeological records such as tombs and metalwares.
