Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze the ancient tombs of Ramadong the Buyeo to reveal their relationship in terms of cultural succession and infer the inherited characteristics of the constructors and the user groups. In the result of the analysis, the Ramadong tombs exhibited clear differences from the Xianbei(鮮卑) tombs, while similarities with the Buyeo tombs are were confirmed. In particular, the act of burying earthenware on top of a coffin, the burnt remains around the coffin, and the destruction of relics can be seen as Buyeo's characteristic funeral customs. Among the excavated artifacts are gilt-bronze masks and gold earrings that explain the inheritance relationship between the two cultures. It is also consistent with Buyeo's image as a society in that the findings in the Ramadong tombs suggest a similar socioeconomic form in which agriculture and military service are combined through iron weapons and iron agricultural tools. In conclusion, those buried in the Ramadong Ancient Tombs can be seen as Buyeo migrants. It is also consistent with the record of the Mo Yong Seonbi’s invasions of Buyeo and their capturing of tens of thousands of Buyeo residents, displacing and relocating them around the capital. Relevant records show that, after relocation, the Buyeo migrants gradually gained political power in the region, with part of them assuming high-ranking positions of the Qianyan(前燕). This can be confirmed through the well-preserved artifacts excavated from the Ramadong tombs. These latter can be said to have originated from the combined factors of the inherited Buyeo culture carried forward by the migrants and the appropriation of the Xianbei(鮮卑) culture.
