Abstract

The Goseong Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb No. 1 excavated by the Seokdang Museum provided the most important data for the study of Gaya history, which lacks literature records, and among them, it is used as a first-class data to explain the history of So-Gaya. The excavation survey of the tomb No. 1 in Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb in Goseong between 1999 and 2002 was a very meaningful and important academic survey that ended the controversy over the Keyhole-shaped tumulus, a traditional tomb of the Japanese ancient tomb era. Twenty years have passed since the excavation survey, but comparative research with the surrounding Gaya ruins continues based on the published report of Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb (Dong-A University Museum (Seokdang Museum)-, 2005). Studies have shown that Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb in Goseong has excellent universal value as a relic that can prove So-Gaya's growth and political and trade systems. The emergence and disappearance of Songhak-dong Ancient Tombs in Goseong symbolizes the emergence and disappearance of So-Gaya's political system, and changes in the social structure of So-Gaya can be seen through the introduction, hierarchy, and construction order of the ancient tombs. After all, Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb in Goseong shows the significant value of history and is a monumental structure that can exemplify Gaya at an important stage in the history of the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms Period. After the excavation survey of Songhak-dong Ancient Tomb No. 1, the value of the ruins expanded as a result of continuous academic research, leading to candidates for World Heritage listing, and it can be evaluated as a heritage with infinite scalability for mankind to enjoy together.
