Abstract

The chronology of the Midwestern Neolithic Age is well-researched through the Goongsan Culture and chronology; the detailed chronology still needs more research. Since the 2000s, surveys of Neolithic villages in the Midwest generated much research. However, the focus has been biased towards specific combpattern pottery or on limited time periods. Furthermore, detailed chronology did not receive favorable perspective. The recent increase in the late Neolithic age and also in radiocarbon dates provides new opportunities to examine comb-pattern pottery of late Neolithic age. This study is an analysis of the late Neolithic age and comb-pattern pottery in the central region. Based on the pottery patterns, Late Neolithic is from 3000 B.C. to 2000 B.C. and Terminal Neolithic from 2000 B.C. onwards. The distinction between Late and Terminal Neolithic is based on the pattern in the pottery. The specific pattern of comb-like pottery shows changes over time. The distinction between the Late Neolithic period and the Terminal Neolithic period is marked by the appearance of the double-rimmed pottery and the perforated-rim comb-pattern pottery. The central region, in contrast to the southern region, does not seem to have established a representative type culture of the Late Neolithic period. As future research sheds light onto the Late Neolithic comb-pattern pottery of the centralregion, more research will help us understand the Late/Terminal Neolithic combpatterned pottery of the Central Eastern region and the Chungchung Inland region.
