길림 서남부와 요동 북부 접경권 초기 철기시대 문화의 지역성과 그 의미 = Regional Patterns and Its Implications in the Early Iron Age of the Southwestern Jilin-Northern Liaodong Borderland

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the cultural characteristics and regional developmental patterns of the Early Iron Age in the borderland between southwestern Jilin and northern Liaodong. Archaeological evidence indicates that a complex cultural formation emerged in this region as iron technology and related material elements from the Central Plains were gradually adopted upon indigenous cultural traditions centered on the Baoshan Culture and the Yangquan-type assemblages. This process resulted in a composite cultural horizon commonly identified as the Xiejia cultural complex. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the Baoshan Culture of southwestern Jilin and the Yangquan-type cultural assemblages of northern Liaodong. Although these groups shared common ceramic combinations and burial practices, they developed differently according to settlement territories and geomorphological conditions.
This study interprets such divergence not as simple regional variation but as reflecting structural transformations within local societies and differing strategies in the adoption of external cultural elements. Furthermore, the combination of multi-knobbed bronze mirrors, double-bird–shaped dagger pommels, and slender bronze daggers identified at Seohwangsantun-type sites of the Xiejia cultural horizon is analyzed as a key indicator of the reorganization of power structures and symbolic systems within Yemaek-related local societies.
These developments are understood as part of a broader transitional process in which a new cultural identity emerged distinct from earlier Gojoseon traditions. At the same time, they reflect an expanded worldview and the competitive dynamics between the differentiated Jinbeon polity and emerging early Buyeo groups.
