Abstract

Most stick-shaped ironwares are recognized as iron axe, iron awl, iron chisel because of the formative feature, which is excavated in the tomb of Yoeng-nam area. Stick-shaped ironwares can entirely be distinguished by plane forms and weights. Distinguished stick-shaped ironwares confirm the change of the time from mid, late-2nd century to 6th century. Stick-shaped ironwares and their original shapes are verified from the stage of wooden coffin tombs. However, while the used bowls which has the certain trace of use are found on the stage of Wooden coffin Tombs, some of stick-shaped ironwares on Wooden chamber Tombs are unclearly found as the used bowls. As you can see, any trace of use was not found, their surfaces weren't trimmed, examples of use by cutting them were confirmed, and the relation of smith's tools is found. From these views, stick-shaped ironwares would rather be inferred as a steel material to make other completed products than as the completed products to use in real. We can confirm production of stick-shaped ironwares made with the method of cementation using wrought iron and low carbon steel as the steel material that can be formed easily and ductile. So stick-shaped ironwares are made as the completed products because not only labor power are wasted but also durability of the steel tools goes down by going through many stage of forge. And the way of how to make a iron helmet could be inferred when we see the sectional shape of iron helmet in the middle, the efficiency of manufacture through the stick-shaped ironwares is confirmed. Stick-shaped ironwares are not found except for the area of Goengju and Gimhye where were the centers of the city from in the middle 2nd century to in the middle of 4th century and the completed products made with stick-shaped ironwares are being confirmed. But, stick-shaped ironwares and smith's tools are confirmed after the middle of fourth century, ironwares appear with the their own character of this area unlike Gyeongju. All over the these, if the circulation system of iron that the completed products was in circulation before the middle of fourth cetury, after that, it would be inferred that the steel material was in circulation.
