서해 출수 고대 유물 연구 －토기, 기와를 중심으로－

Abstract

It is known that numerous ships carried pottery and grains at sea during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties and went to the capital city of Gaegyeong and Hanyang. This is because 15 shipwreck from the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties and tens of thousands of artifacts, including Goryeo celadon, Joseon Buncheong ware, and Joseon white porcelain, were discovered in the sea. However, with the first discovery of Baekje pottery and roof tiles in 2018, the need for research on ancient relics and routes was raised. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on earthenware and roof tiles among the ancient relics recovered from the sea so far. Five pieces of hard, plain pottery from the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, estimated to be from the 1st century, were unearthed from the waters of Myeongnyangdaecheop-ro, Jindo, and three pieces of deep-faced pottery from the Hanseong period of Baekje and 10 pieces of Seungmun ware from the 4th to 5th century from the 4th to 5th century from the Mado period in Taean. By examining the characteristics and aspects of these relics, we have summarized three reasons why they were retrieved from the sea. First, there is a case where relics that were discarded after being used on the coast are brought into the sea by waves. Second, there are cases where sailors abandon or sink while living on a ship. Thirdly, there is a case where the cargo is transported by ship and the ship sinks and falls into the sea. There has been a perception that Baekje was a maritime power since the Han Dynasty. However, since the actual relics did not come out of the sea, it could only be estimated through coastal relics such as Yecheon-dong, Bujang-ri, Giji-ri in Seosan, and Gagok 2-ri in Dangjin. Therefore, in this regard, the author hopes that through this study of ancient relics from the sea, it will be helpful in researching Baekje’s maritime routes and the life on board ships of ancient sailors, and that ancient ships from the Three Kingdoms Period will be revealed to the world.
