新石器時代 南海岸地域의 骨角器文化에 대한 考察

Abstract

Bone Implement found in the South Coast regions are divided to hunting tools, fishing tools, and gathering/processing tools according to the category of living, and impractical tools to personal ornaments and ritual tools. The materials forBone Implement mainly depend on the forms of animal and fish bones, and especially deer bones are commonly used. Bone Implement found in the South Coast regions include Dongsamdong, Beombang, Yeondaedo, Yokjido, and Sugaripaechong, which indicates that they were continuously used as means for production in life throughout the history. Basically, the culture of Bone Implement was centered on fishing tools such as spear, fishing hook, harpoon, etc. Especially in the middle period, the kinds and usage of bone and shell made tools drastically increased, which seems to result from the diversified life style and living structure as well as the tool system as agriculture of miscellaneous cereals became common throughout the regions from the mid Jeulmun Pottery Period. Although data on bone fishing tools in the South Coast regions are not yet sufficient, and the characteristics are not quite clear, the research was conducted based on the fishing system and tools in accompanying the fishing cultures of the surrounding areas. It is thought that the geological conditions of the regions three sides of which face the sea and the environmental factors enabled the regions to accompany the external cultures.
