舟形土器로 본 삼국시대 배 고찰

Abstract

Vessels in Korea are identified from Neolithic Age, but those of Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Three Kingdom Period are not found actually till now, we can’t know the realities. Fortunately, boat-shaped vessel of Three Kingdom Period is identified, so we can see through ship of then indirectly. 21 pieces of boat-shaped vessel are identified till now, and among these which unearthed sites are precise are only 6―from Daegu, Gyeongju, Kimhae, and Hapcheon―. Unearthed site of the rest of them is unknown. From this, vessel of Three Kingdom Period seems to used a lot in Silla and Gaya area in 4c~6c from stream to ocean according to their purposes. Also, sort of them seems to be various. In short, from dugout canoe, which was used in shallow zone as the most primitive one, to Pre structure ship which could sail toward foreign ocean, we can know various kinds of vessel had already existed. According to previous study, Pre structure ship is originated from Anapji ship of United-Silla Period. In contrast, it shows that Pre structure ship had already existed since Three Kingdom Period. We can know that people did aquatic activities with various vessels in Silla and Gaya.
