예천지역 신라 고분의 매장 프로세스 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to reorganize the typology of Three Kingdoms–period tombs in the Yecheon region based on burial facilities, deposition patterns, and the number of burial episodes, and on this basis to elucidate the developmental process and significance of burial practices. Unlike previous studies that primarily focused on structural classification, this research reconstructs the diachronic transformation of Yecheon tombs by centering on burial processes, and comprehensively examines the acceptance and stabilization of joint-burial concepts within the regional context of the upper Nakdong River basin.
First, the burial processes of Yecheon tombs underwent change through three stages after the mid-fifth century. In Phase I, with the emergence of horizontal-entrance structures, a new burial concept of additional joint burial was introduced. In core areas of the upper Nakdong River basin, such as Yecheon, Sangju, and Seonsan, longitudinally arranged joint burials were rapidly accepted, whereas in the Yeongju and Andong regions, laterally arranged joint burials are confirmed from an early stage, indicating clear regional variation. This pattern is understood as the result of selectively adopting only the concept of joint burial from Goguryeo horizontal stone-chamber tombs and reinterpreting it upon the local tradition of pit-type stone cist burials.
Second, in Phase II, as joint burial expanded in scope and became established, tombs of Type B with single interment and Types C1 and D with joint burial coexisted. Type D was established around the early sixth century, centered on the Sangju region, and was only selectively adopted in the Yecheon region. This is interpreted as the result of selective acceptance limited to certain tombs within the context of interregional interaction among local groups in northern Yeongnam. As for its background, amid political and social changes in Silla—including the institutionalization of mourning regulations and the consolidation of the local governance system—greater emphasis was placed on efficiency and economic feasibility in tomb construction. Under such conditions, the reuse and expansion of existing stone cists emerged as a practical alternative for joint burial. Through this process, single burial gradually declined, while joint burial became firmly established as the dominant practice.
Third, in Phase III, from the late sixth century onward, the emergence of Type C2 is accompanied by an increase in the number of individuals interred and changes in the arrangement of burial platforms. This reflects a process in which burial practices in the Yecheon region increasingly converged with those of the central polity, coinciding with the strengthening of Silla’s control over local regions.
Through this analysis, it is confirmed that the development of burial processes in Yecheon tombs was closely linked to broader political and social changes. In particular, the spread of the joint-burial concept was not the result of unilateral external imposition, but rather of selective acceptance and reinterpretation by local groups in accordance with their own needs, combined with indigenous traditions. In this respect, the case of the upper Nakdong River basin demonstrates the agency and autonomy of local communities. Furthermore, the tendency after the sixth century for only Gyeongju-style pottery to be deposited, alongside a gradual reduction in grave goods, materially supports the broader reorganization of burial concepts, processes, and tomb structures within an increasingly centralized order.
In conclusion, by examining Yecheon tombs diachronically from the perspective of burial processes, this study seeks to explain the acceptance and stabilization of joint-burial concepts in Silla tombs of the upper Nakdong River basin. In addition, by systematically organizing tomb data from the Yecheon region, which has previously received relatively little scholarly attention, this research establishes its significance. With the accumulation of further data in the future, the results of this study may serve as foundational material for more refined discussions on Silla tombs throughout the upper Nakdong River basin.
