Abstract

This paper is intended to collect foreign relics excavated from Byeonhan area and examine Byeonhan's foreign exchange. Foreign relics were divided into Chinese(Han(漢)) and Japanese(Wa(倭)). It was targeted from the 1st century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. In the process of transitioning from Byeonhan(弁韓) to Gaya(加耶), I wanted to find out what Byeonhan's changes in foreign exchange meant. In Byeonhan, relics from Han(漢) Dynasty stood out after the establishment of Nangnang(樂浪; B.C.108), which stemmed from the desire of Byeonhan people for prestige goods. Byeonhan people realized the yearning through income and imitation. However, the transition of society from wooden coffin tombs to wooden chamber tombs changed the value of relics from Han Dynasty, and the prestige goods have also been localized and independent changes have occurred. In other words, the culture of Han dynasty collapsed and the prestige goods have changed amid the inherent development of Byeonhan. In the 1st century B.C., Neuk-do site, the largest trading hub in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, lost its function of trade in the becaming A.D. At the same time, Gimhae area stood out, representing Yangdong-ri site, and Daeseong-dong site. In particular, changes in the kind and distribution of relics from Wa indicate that trade between polity has intensified. The appearance of Byeonhan in the tomb shows that they were aiming for a political power-type dynastic society. Changes in foreign relics mean changes in foreign exchange in Byeonhan, which are unrelated to changes in social structure.
