부여 정림사 소조상의 출토 층위와 목탑 존재의 검토

Abstract

In the lower part of the five-story stone pagoda of the Jeongrimsa Temple Site, the foundation soil is formed to 6.2m width. Kim Jeong-gi understood the remains related to the wooden pagoda and suggested the theory that the wooden pagoda would have existed before the stone pagoda. And the clay figures excavated from Jeongrimsa Temple site were interpreted as the figures enshrined inside the pagoda, the theory of the existence of the wooden pagoda of Jeongrimsa Temple has been further studied. However, the soil layer of the clay figures excavated from Jeongrimsa Temple Site shows that these were excavated from the tile pits under the soil layer in the foundation of Jeongrimsa Temple and the reinforced soil of the stone drainage at the southern end of the west corridor. As a result, the excavation shows that the clay figures were remnants of the surrounding remains that were not directly related to Jeongrimsa temple. The above archaeological layer review can also be understood that the central foundation of the wooden pagoda is not confirmed at the foundation. In other words, if a wooden pagoda was built in Jeonglimsa Temple at a time not long after Sabicheondo(泗沘遷都), this means that the central stone was buried underground. In general, the depth from the surface to the bottom of the central stone pit was about 150~250cm, which means that the current base layer is as low as the corresponding height. However, none of these traces have been found in the soil layer of Jeongrimsa Temple Site, and considering the surrounding buildings, the drainage and the other case of reconstructions, etc, it is difficult to expect to be low or halt at Jeongrimsa Temple Site. Therefore, the possibility of the existence of a wooden tower in Jeongrimsa Temple Site is considered to be slim.
