목관묘에서 목곽묘로의 전환과 그 의의

Abstract

Wooden compartment tombs could be estimated to have appeared at the end of the 2nd century AD through cross-dating with the excavated Han-style culture, including the Han mirror, cast iron axe with double protruding bands, etc., and artifacts of the same type excavated in the whole area of Xian and Luoyang regions in China. The diverse aspects of changes in the material culture from the Han-style culture, including the Han mirror, cast iron axe with double protruding bands, iron pot, pig iron smelting, co-fusion, etc., to the late-soft grayish (Wajil) pottery, reddish brown pottery, wooden coffin-style wooden compartment tomb, etc. can be defined as a barometer of social changes following the emergence of the wooden compartment tomb. Both a new ideology, that is the emergence of the wooden compartment tomb and Han-style culture, and the transformation of the superstructure, including advanced technology, etc., are the driving forces that had resulted in the overall development of the material foundation of the Samhan (Three Kingdoms of Korea) society. In particular, the Han dynasty's iron production technology introduced into the Samhan society led to the development of iron production capacity and changes in production patterns, which had served as a direct trigger for the Samhan society to develop into the Three Kingdoms period as an ancient country.
