Abstract

The stone chamber tomb with corridor, which follows Shilla’s wooden chamber covered by stone and earthen mound representing the 4th and 5th centuries, is known to have been mainly built in the post 6th centuries. Issues in the research on the Stone chamber tomb with corridor include the construction period and formal change, and the introduction of foreign elements. Including these issues, research on Chunghyo-dong Tombs is needed to explain the situation of Shilla Dynasty through tombs. Most of the tombs of Chunghyo-dong are consist of Stone chamber tomb with corridor and is known to be in the early stages of the Stone chamber tomb with corridor in Gyongju area. It is because of Shilla’s important position in discussing the timing of the construction of the Stone Chamber tomb with corridor, the construction group, and the process of foreign elements being projected to Shilla’s tumb. This study is about chronology and genealogy of Shilla’s Stone chamber tombs with corridor and is aimed at uncovering the construction period and genealogy of Chunghyo-dong Tombs. After identifying the characteristics of each tomb and the excavated relics, the timing and system of the construction were verified through comparison with the data available for dating. As a result, it is estimated that the Chunghyo-dong Tombs form four groups, and were contrasted step by step, showing time differences from the mid 6th century to the late 6th century. Group A (No.1·2·3) was built in the mid 6th century. And Group B (No. 4·5·6) was built in the late 6th century. Group C (No.7·8·9) and Group D (No. 10) were built at the end of the 6th century. Also, each group has tombs with high rank. Tomb NO.2 has the highest rank in group A and tomb No.5 in group B, tomb No.7 in group C, tomb No.10 in group D. Consequently, Chunghyo-dong Tombs, composed of Stone chamber tomb with corridor, can be found to have been built under the strong influence of Goguryeo. So far, there are relics such as the Hou and The King of Kanggeto’s tombstone, Hollow thick erings, and stirrupup outlet has been presented as proofs of the relationship between Goguryeo and Shilla. However, as we have seen in this study, the strong influence of Goguryeo’s tomb on the change of Shilla’s tomb is significant and it informs us of the correlation between Goguryeo and Shilla. These studies have made it possible to estimate the ages of the relics such as potty, loof tile, and iron tools and are expected to contribute to archaeological studies of Shilla.
