Abstract

The Baekje’s cotton fabrics were excavated from ‘Neungsan-ri temple site in Buyeo’(September 1999-April 2000)and stored at Buyeo National Museum after conservation treatment. In this study, it carred out non-destructive, chemical and morphological analysis for fiber identification, also considered on influx, features and difference between the‘ Baek-cheop-po(Three kingdom period’s cotton fiber)’and ‘Mok-myeon(imported by Munikjeom, late Korea dynasty)’. As a result, the fiber proved cellulose fiber through analytical researches like color reaction,@FT-IR(chemical analysis). It was also confirmed lumens, typical dimensional structure(morphological analysis) as an features of cotton fiber. The fiber was the first evidence in ancient Korea’s cotton. But it can not prove that whether weaving were made in Baekje’s area. However there were documentation that people in Beakje make cloth to silk fabric from‘ Mahan period’. We can suppose that they have had an old weaving techniques. This study has a great historical, academic values as the only evidence for the hypothesis of a weaving technique of the Baekje’s cotton. Through comparison to each region’s ancient cottons, we can investigate the species of Baekje’s cotton and ancient Korea cotton’s influx.
