Abstract

The Sangbu and Busanghang stamped roof tiles from Gosaburi Fotress have the names of Obu and Ohang stamped on them. It is highly significant that they were found in Jungbang Fortress, an Obang (a local organization) rather than a central organization. By deciphering the two stamped roof tiles and examining their manufacturing techniques, we examined the master craftsmen of roof tiles, the craftsmen who stamped the tiles, and the production system and its time period of the tiles. By examining the vestiges of the seal, the fonts, the strokes of the remaining letters, and the scars of the seal, we discovered that both Sangbu and Busanghang were stamped with the same seal. However, a big difference in the manufacturing techniques between the two tiles reveals that the tiles were produced by different tile craftsmen. Especially, Sangbu tiles were produced by a tile craftsman with strong regional characteristics. The contents written on Sangbu Sanghang indicate that they were produced to record the donors. Given that the tiles were not excavated in Gongju, Buyeo or Iksan, it is highly likely that they were not produced in the central area but near Gosaburi Fotress. In addition, the fact that the tiles produced by different tile craftsmen were stamped with the same seal indicates that it was not the tile craftsmen but the inspector who stamped the tiles, following the production system of the stamped-roof tiles with the name of Obu, often found in the central region. Stamped roof tiles show that they were from Baekje in terms of the written content and the manufacturing techniques. Although there may be disagreements about the specific dates, we estimate they were produced in the mid-seventh century, based on the seal vestiges similar to those of Subu, and written contents quite different from the Obu stamped roof tiles from the first half of the seventh century.
