문화재 지표조사에서 일제강점기 자료 활용법 －창원지역 유적 사례를 중심으로－

Abstract

Recently, Governments are opening up archived documents, maps and aerial photographs of the Japanese colonial periods. The materials from Japanese colonial periods are collected before the government’s territorial development plan and enable us to investigate the original topographic features of the area in great detail. However, only few cases are known by usage of those materials in investigation of cultural heritage surface survey. Thus, this paper discusses the application methods of materials generated in Japanese periods in literature review before a fieldwork of cultural heritage surface survey. Based on the recent case of surface survey for 『文化遺蹟分布地圖-昌原市(THE SITE MAP OF CHANG-WON)』 production, this paper introduces the case where new relics were excavated due to usage of materials from Japanese colonial period, along with addressing limitation and direction of future investigation. As a result of cultural heritage surface survey in Changwon region, it was unable to pin down exact locations of relics in the cases of which if they were covered with bushes or the region where relics were located went through renovation from development plan. However, utilizing the excavation documents from the Museum of Japanese Government General of Korea and land register and aerial map of Japanese periods, it was possible to pinpoint location of relics. Moreover, additional living relics and burial remains such as ancient tombs were discovered in the area were original terrain was identified and defined as high possibility of burial remains from maps and aerial photographs of Japanese periods. In further cultural heritage surface survey and advance work, the application of materials generated in Japanese colonial periods will reduce blind spot of the work, and enable us to find specific locations of relics.
