Abstract

The lidded leg jars are one of earthenwares that were excavated from the graves in Midwest and Southeast regions. They have hemispherical or Satgat-shaped lids with horn-shaped legs. The form of the lidded leg jars are classified into the shape of body portion, the jointing method of leg, and the shape of lid. As a result, total 9 formats were classified. According to the shape of body portion, the jars may be further distinguished with format A and format B. Specific classification of the jars is possible with the jointing method of leg and the shape of lid. Format A jars were often excavated around the Southeast region, while format B jars were found around the Midwest region. Therefore, preference on the shape of body portion varied by regional groups. Similarly, the Southeast region mainly had hemispherical lids while the Midwest region had Satgat-shaped lids. This means that the lidded leg jars have not gone through an identical changes over the time in the Southeast and Midwest regions. Based on the classification above, the writer examined artifacts and substituted rationalistic chronology of grey pottery chronology of Lee Sung-ju and Iron spearhead chronology of Shin Dong-jo. After, each region’s timeline for the chronology of the lidded leg jars was developed. As a result, the lidded leg jars appeared in the first century and expanded to the Midwest region during the second century. At the time of the thrid century, the lidded leg jars became mostly extinct in the Southeast and Midwest regions. The lidded leg jars were not spread from one specific to another. Instead, the study concludes that small regions shared motif of the pottery to each other and manufactured their own. The lidded leg jars’ expansion to the Southeast and Midwest regions seemed to be due to the regional exchange. In the Southeast region, people manufactured those jars buried in graves by themselves instead of importing them.
