Abstract

Stone tools in the Neolithic Period can be divided into tools for hunting, fishing, gathering, cooking, manufacturing (wood and stone working tools) and ornaments for ceremonies and decorations. After classifying the Stone tools found at the Neolithic sites in Jeju Island on their purposes, activities for livlihood in the Neolithic Period are estimated with combinations of features of periods and sites. In the Incipient stage, in general, a variety of Stone tools for different purposes are identified. The method for producing Stone tools through punch or pressure flaking technique in the Upper Paleolithic Period is to use flake such as point, arrowhead, end-scraper, side-scrape, burin and make a small stone tools. Also, various forms of cooking tools such as stone grinding pestle, grinding pestle are used. It is estimated that hunting and gathering are considered as an aggressive action for livlihood and fishing as an incidental activity. In the initial stage, fishing net-sinker is found with the decrease of hunting tools. Stone working tools and cooking tools are the main Stone tools. Therefore, the major activities for living are not hunting and fishing but gathering. In the early stage, hunting tools wood and stone working tools are not identified and fishing net-sinker continues to be used. Stone tools are only made for cooking tools. Fishing is subordinate to gathering which is essential for living. In the Late · Final stage, there are no hunting tools found and two-piece hook among fishing tools is used. As the stone chisel increases, bone implement mainly used for fishing became popular. Large digging tools is identified in an advanced form, which shows the possibility of primitive agricultural life beyond gathering. After in the late stage, many kinds of economic activities for livlihood lead to stable supply of food and growth of population size. As the population increases, the sites are expanded to the entire Jeju and Shell Mound is formed.
