Abstract

Since the Neolithic period, two regions (southern parts of Korea and northern parts of Kyusu, Japan) that lies between the Straits of Korea has experienced a frequent interchange due to the similarities in natural environment, geographical condition and occupational environment, including diverse cultural exchanges. As result, each region experienced inflows of one another's culture and has left behind plenty of archeological specimens for the various studies. However, the study towards to the matter of occupation is not sufficient; even with the belief that it takes the most part of the prehistoric age's cultural exchange systems. In accordance with the group's purposes and beliefs, in general, it is true that the prehistoric times' occupation including the adaptiveness towards the same environmental conditions show different aspects. Therefore, this study will be focused on the two region's occupation types based on it's alterations of interchange system. As result, the main occupational activities of two regions were different for the time periods, and it significantly influenced the interchange aspects. In other words, by the time of middle era, both regions experienced a great change in the types of occupation. Deep-sea fishery, as an example of occupation type, we can define the changes in the main body of interchange activities based on its positiveness and passiveness activities. During the early and pre-period where the deep-sea fisheries were actively practiced in the southern coastal regions, there are relics of southern coastal regions in the northwestern regions of Kyusu. For the middle period where the deep-sea fisheries were actively practiced by the regions of northwestern Kyusu, there are relics from the regions of northwestern Kyusu in the southern coastal regions. The cultural properties that were exchangeable objects also showed differences by the time periods. For the early and pre-period, the main objects were based on the occupational tools such as earthenwares and building stones. For the latter of middle period, the accessories such as bracelets made out shellfish and streamers were the main objects of interchange. Accordingly, we could note that there were alterations in the two regions' interchange structures in accordance to the changes in occupation types, and it also influenced the interchangeable objects and systems, at the different time periods.
