On the other hand, in the internal part of Songhyun-dong 6th and 7th tombs chamber, various artifacts, such as all sorts of lacquer, wooden ware, wooden harnessry, wooden coffin made of camphor tree and etc, were founded. In particular, as it was confirmed that earthenwares and baskets with fish bone and wheats in it were buried with the dead person, a good data was collected for restoring burial ceremony. Also the transverse furrow type chamber tomb which was founded in the ruins of Gyo-dong drain maintenance area had no damage of tomb robbery because its burial mound has leveled out since before Japanese colonial era, and its burial aspect of grave goods type and section of burial space were clearly verified too.
