백제 한성양식토기의 형성과 변천에 대하여 = Examining the formation and development of the Hanseong style pottery of the Baekje state

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The objective of this article is to examine the problems inherent in the current typological approach to pottery in Korean archaeology and to rework the typological scheme of the Hanseong style pottery, thus constructing an alternative chronology of the Hanseong Baekje period.
The issues concerning pottery typology examined here will include the unit of analysis, the number of variables used in analysis, the possibility for comparison among stages of typological development and the cultural context of the pottery, all leading to the conclusion that for Hanseong style pottery, the household cluster is the most valid unit of analysis and Montelius’ method the most valid approach to chronology.
Based on this alternative chronology of Hanseong style pottery, it is argued that contrary to the long-standing assumption in Baekje archaeology that the formation and spread of the Hanseong style pottery was an universal event occurring in conjunction with, and throughout the territory of, the newly formed Baekje state, the spread of Hanseong style pottery actually occurred around the late 4th century AD, well after the Baekje state was established.
