경기도 한강 하류 고고 유적지의 지형 및 토양 특성

Abstract

It is necessary to analyse and restore natural environment, in oder to understand living style of prehistoric and ancient people lived with adaptation to nature. This study is the analysis for geomorphology and soil properties about 84 ruins sites from Paleolithic Age to Bronze Age in lower reach of Han River of GyeongGi-Do. The ruins of Paleolithic and Neolithic Age show higher distributional density in natural levee and fluvial terrace, relatively safe on flood. However, judging from Neolithic ruins closer to river than the Paleolithic, it is interpreted that settled life at alluvium was activated in beginning of the Paleolithic Age. Meanwhile, the Bronze ruins were distributed equally not only alluviums but also mountain and hill areas with steep slope. Going from Paleolithic to Bronze Age, spatial distribution of ruins was extended from upper reach of Han River to lower reach, and from riverine area to intermountain area. Estimating from distributional pattern with the kind of ruins, it is suggested that the residental area of prehistoric and ancient people had mainly was placed in natural levee and fluvial terrace with plat surface and soft soil at riverine, while suggest the whole space of activity field was broadened from alluvial area of riverine to hill and mountain area.
