부여 상황리 일대 백제 고분군의 분포와 위상

Abstract

It has been transmitted that there are royal tombs from the Baekje period in Sanghwang-ri, Jangam-myeon, Buyeo based on records in literature and the content of tombstones. There are four clusters of ancient tombs including alleged royal tombs of Baekje. This study thus set out to investigate the current distribution and status of Baekje tombs around Sanghwang-ri. Alleged royal tombs of Baekje is arranged so that the three tombs form a triangle, and No. 1 of them is estimated that the burial mound was 12m in diameter. It was a stone chamber tomb. Artifacts made of gold were excavated in the tomb along with lac- quered oil lamps. Alleged No. 1 Royal Tomb of Baekje seems to have been built for a nobleman or local chief based on its similarities in tombs of Dunsan-ri. Also Alleged royal tombs of Baekje are situated in an independent section unlike other tombs of Baekje, which means that they have a unique location in that it is not found in ancient tombs of similar hierarchy. The tombs where alleged Sanghwang-ri artifacts (former Hahwang-ri artifacts) were collected were stone chamber tombs made of plate stones in stack and in the structure of hexagonal type ceiling. Flower-shaped silver hat ornaments collected from the tombs are major artifacts from the Sabi period of Baekje. In addition, it is said that golden ear- rings, yarn, and swords were also excavated in the tomb. These artifacts indicate that the tombs had relatively high hierarchy. In this sense, the tombs of Baekje around Sanghwang-ri are located south of the Sabi capital city and include tombs of high hierarchy equal to the royal family. Other tombs were built around them including tombs of high hierarchy with flower-shaped silver hat ornaments buried in them. This pattern has not been found in local tombs as well as tombs outside the Sabi capital city.
