제주도 신석기시대 토기의 형식과 시기구분 = A Study on the Neolithic Potteries in Cheju Island

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Neolithic Potteries in Cheju are classified into several groups: primitive undecorated potteries with organic temper patterns(Type Ⅰ), potteries with applique patterns(Type Ⅱ), potteries with dragged or impressed patterns(Type Ⅲ, Ⅳ), potteries with lined patterns(Type Ⅴ), potteries with double rims(Type Ⅵ), and etc. All potteries except primitive undecorated potteries and rocker-stamped potteries are deeply related to ones from southern coastal sites. Nevertheless, they had been developed somewhat uniquely into Cheju`s own patterns which might be caused from the isolation of the island. Neolithic culture in Cheju Island had been passed into four stages following the changes of pottery types. Stage Ⅰ is the period when the Kosanri type potteries, that is Type Ⅰ found from the Kosanri site and Kimnyoungri site had been used. The potteries of this stage seem to be related with the potteries found from Amur river basin and the Russian Far East in the Incipient Neolithic and its dating is from 10,000 B.C. to 6,000 B.C. Stage Ⅱ is the period when the potteries with rocker-stamped and applique patterns had been used, The use of the former might belong to the Early Neolithic, compared with ones from the Liao-ho River region, and dated to c. 5,000 B.C. The latter was similar to potteries with applique patterns from southern coast. They were popular from the late Initial to Early Neolithic. Stage Ⅱ is the period when potteries with incised or impressed patterns and potteries with lined patterns had been used. Potteries are considered to have been affected by ones from southern coast since they were made with granitic temper which do not exist in the Island. Also this stage is period when the Pukchonri(ⅣB) type pottery had been appeared. Cheju`s own pottery with local uniqueness had been made in this period. Stage Ⅳ is the period when potteries with double rims had appeared. These potteries had spread in wide range, not only in southern coastal area but also in islands. It seems that potteries had spread all area of Cheju in this period. The primitive undecorated potteries and the rocker-stamped potteries have not yet found in the Peninsula and have the feature of Initial Neolithic around the Maritime Province of Siberia. Potteries with impressed patterns, lined patterns, and with double rims as well as potteries with applique patterns have a similar aspect to the southern Korea. It can be assumed that the pottery culture in Cheju have been changed related with other areas. However, the study on Neolithic potteries in Cheju has a difficulty in understanding the character more accurately because of the insufficiency of related materials and the absence of absolute age.
