Abstract

In a recent Neolithic monuments such as Sejuk, Munam-ri, Osan-ri C, Chucksan newly excavated, and in the process of accepting the results, the Neolithic cultures of the Amur and Primorye of Russia have introduced considerable domestic help was. The relationship between Korea and the Amur region is represented by appliqued pottery, in the case of the Primorye of Russia, Seopohang, Munam-ri, Osan-ri and Boisman culture has been noticed. Neolithic cultures of the Lower Amur River in Siberia is associated with the Neolithic cultures of Primorye of Russia and has been focused on the unique cultural aspects. In this paper, made from the remains excavated Neolithic suchu performance of the Amur River is to understand the content and nature. This summary is as follows. For three-year period, a joint research team consisting of National Institute of Cultural Properties of Korea and Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences excavated a Neolithic settlement site at Suchu Island located in the Amur River Valley of Habarovsk Region, Russia. More than one hundred archaeological features of Neolithic Age had been uncovered and investigated at the Suchu Island, including dithes, structures for ritual service, and almost 130 pit houses. Besides a number of stone tools and pottery, the pit houses yielded quite an amount of unusual artifacts such as earthen figurines with human or animail shapes and earthen and lithic implements fir ritual service. More than 100 archaeological features spread over the whole island and these unusual artifacts presented the Such Island a splendid nicknam,‘Mycenat of the Amur’. Five pit houses, two stone tool workshops, and more than 30,000 pottery and stone implements were a partial outcome of the three joint field campaigns at the Suchu Island for three year period, and understanding of Neolithic Culture of the Amur River Valley represented Marinskaya Culture, Malyshevo Culture, and fanally Voznesenovka Cuture was more valuable product of the joint research. Among the 5 pithouses identified during the three field investigations, while 4 houses(No.24, No.25, No.26, and No.27)were dated to the Malyshevo phase(ca.4000BC), a house(No.83) was dated to the Voznesenovka phase(ca. 2000BC). In particular, 2 stone tool workshops of the Marinskaya phase provided archaeological basis to set up an initial or early phase of Neolithic Age which had not been established in the Amur River Valley. In addition, the discovery had another critical scholarly meaning in that the Marinskaya Culture was a cultural phase to follow the Novopetrovka Culture and Osipovka Culture which hand been known as the earlist Neolithic Culture. Based on Pottry and stone tools uncovered at the Suchu Island, Neolithc Culture of the region is considered to be related to that of Siberia and East Coast of the Korean Peninsula. The outcome of the joint field research will contribute to the sturdy of Neolithic Culture of Northeast Asia, including northeast China, Korea, and Japan beyond that of the Suchu Island.
