평기와 제작흔의 실험고고학적 연구

Abstract

The production methods of plain roof tiles have a very long tradition, and some of these traditional methods are still practiced. Therefore, the study of roof tiles has to begin by studying modern production methods of roof tiles, and various approaches, such as experimental archaeology, are required. There have been many studies undertaken on plain roof tiles until now, and some of their attributes have been the focus of debate between scholars adopting opposing views. One of the debates has been on the dividing traces and textile traces found on roof tiles. Therefore, in this study, I reviewed the current arguments on these plain roof tile attributes and presented my own opinions based on experimental archaeological research. As a result, a basic understanding of these production traces was increased, for example by reconstructing the formation processes of dividing and textile traces. The problems inherent in the terminology used were also reviewed. I also investigated the drying traces found on the lower sides of roof tiles, which previously had not been studied as an attribute of roof tiles. Finally, I also considered the function of patterned and (upper side) divided roof tiles, a topic that should be reviewed in further studies on roof tiles.
