木棺墓 葬送儀禮의 復原: 密陽校洞遺蹟을 中心으로

Abstract

The wooden coffin burial of funeral rite is one of actions which has strong symbol among the formal actions of the human behavior. In this report, focused on Milyang-gyodong site, I divided wooden coffin burial of funeral rite into four grades with studying the construction process of the wooden coffin and the aspect of arranged remains. In Milyang-gyodong site, the waist pit which fall into the first grade is only one, but any instruments didn’t discovered there, therewas no detail explanation so far. In the second grade, there is a rule that just one sword is buried in a single coffin and it is put near a head or waist of the buried. A small pottery appeared in the stage of the Wajil-pottery and various ironware were arranged outside the coffin. It is the reason that an item was limited by the narrow space between tomb and wooden coffin. The item arranged outside a coffin and in a coffin is different in a reversion object based on the difference of the aspect and conventional recognition. Because the item arranged in a coffin means representation of a social position of the buried, and outside a coffin was based on the principle of the community which administered funeral rite, I suppose these two people had two different professional abilities each. In the third grade, limitation in the space disappeared so Mumun-potteries and the large-sized of the Wajil-potteries as well as items which appeared in the second grade are discovered. Itis important that not many items of a single form are buried, but each of variety forms are buried. Then based on the number of items arranged in each stage, I confirmed about the progress of the funeral rite of wooden coffin burial. It is not so uniform but it has continuation, a limitation, stability and concentricity. Finally, I examined the planar position of item at each grade and grasped an aspect of the wooden coffin burial of of funeral rites from both sides of the solid and the plane.
