한반도 촉각식검을 통해 본 동서 교류

Abstract

In this paper I examined the antenna style daggers and swords excavated in the Korean Peninsula in order to understand them from the perspective of exchange, and compared them to those of northeastern China, the Russian Maritime Province and the Ordos region. Antenna style daggers and swords can be divided into three categories：first is the Paired-Bird Dagger (or Sword); second is the Paired-scroll Dagger (or Sword); and third is the Paired-ring Dagger (or Sword). There are two sub-categories of the Paired-Bird Dagger (or Sword), namely the southern Manchuria style and the Korean peninsula style. The latter could have been be recreated by local elites in the peninsula with influence from northeastern China. It is believed that the Paired-Bird Dagger (or Sword) in the Korean peninsula was developed by local polities from the arched necks of a pair of waterfowl, which represents the culture of the Ordos region, and was amalgamated with the local dagger culture, the Liaoning style dagger and the slender dagger culture. Interestingly the antenna style dagger from Nikolayevka in the southern Maritime region is similar to that of tomb 486 at Toseong-dong in Pyongyang. It is possible that they were redistributed by elites in Puyŏ or in Pyongyang. I also created groupings of the polities which were involved in the exchange networks of Northeast Asia. One group is linked to Liaodong (遼東), Jilin, the southern Maritime region and Pyongyang. The other group is connected to Pyongyang, Kapyong in Kyonggi Province, the Youngnam region and Tsushima. These networks may also have influenced polities in Kyushu, Japan.
