巨濟 廢王城 성격에 관한 연구

Abstract

It is island Geoje where our ancestry lives from prehistoric age. Moreover it is reported there are various sites connected with this time. Particularly many castles are constructed after historical age because of geopolitical importance, twenty-four of these exist. Our ancestors defend foreign enemies and protect islanders. It is known that Castle Pyewang is constructed at earliest time in island Geoje. The eastern wall, gate in 2004 and pond in 2007 are preliminarily surveyed and excavated. As a result, the fact that the castle is built at Shilla dynasty and this is mended at Goryeo, the constructing technique and basic material are accumulated. Although Castle Pyewang is partly excavated it is difficult to understand the historical meaning and whole aspect but with reference of documentary record connected with Samguksagi and neighboring site, what related to tributary area of country Sang(country Geoje) is presumed. We think that the surrounding site of Castle Pyewang has to be excavated after surveying inner part. In addition we expect that the characteristic of Castle Pyewang can be widely established, if the mountain fortress constructed at the similar time is comparatively surveyed from macroscopic angles.
