삼가마유적의 연구와 조사방법론

Abstract

Food, clothing and housing are the very basic elements of human life. However, not only does clothing protect us from the cold, it also allows us to preserve our dignity and identify ourselves as human beings. Even though it is probable that clothing was worn in the prehistoric period, clothing made from hemp came to be made from the Proto-Tree Kingdoms period. There are many steps in the processing of hemp fiber. The most important step is steaming the hemp, which makes the hemp fibers soft and strong, allowing them to be used as thread. In order to steam hemp, a kiln is required, and based on ancient records and the results of the most current archaeological excavations it appears that the first hemp kilns were used in the Three Kingdoms period. Unfortunately, it is only recently that hemp kilns have been recognized as such during excavation; previously they had been recognized as something else. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to prevent further loss of archaeological data concerning ancient hemp kilns by helping archaeologists recognize the structures in the field. There are two types of hemp kilns, one being the single-structure kiln and the other being the separated structure kiln. The former was small, located on flat ground and relatively early in date. It was difficult to control the strength of fire in this type of kiln. The latter, on the other hand, was large, located along the slope of a mountain, and allowed easy control of fire. Because the separated structure kiln was more effective, it was used for a long time. To excavate such kiln structures accurately, it is very important to consider the location, structure, and other aspects of the hemp kiln. In addition, the application of radiocarbon and paleomagnetic dating methods are essential for accurate studies in the future.
