南韓 靑銅器時代의 生産活動과 社會 = Production and society in the Southern Korean bronze age

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the Southern Korea abundant archaeological data have been unearthed recently through numerous rescue excavations. These data change our perspectives and interpretations of the Korean Bronze Age from 'static' to 'dynamic'. While I concur, I put an emphasis on production activities of this period - a perspective that has not been argued sufficiently in previous studies.
In Chapter Ⅱ, I investigate chronological studies; these seem to be the most fundamental and important studies, but there are not enough yet. As a result, I divide the South Korean Bronze Age into the Early and the Late periods, and both of these were divided into 4 phases each. Also, I provide calendar years to the chronological order through cross-dating with the Chinese Central Plain and Korean Peninsula.
In Chapter Ⅲ, I introduce excavated materials related to production activities such as carbonized crop remains, wet-fields, dry-fields, bronzes and their moulds, stone tools, and others. Chapter Ⅳ is about the production of pottery, especially focused on firing techniques, using ethnological and experimental approach. It was revealed that the 'covered open firing method' was adopted at the end of Early Bronze Age, and the method is characterized by the use of fuel such as grasses belong to rice family. Thus it seemed that at this stage the landscape of settlement was changed.
In Chapter Ⅴ, I discuss craft production, especially on bead-making. Through the analysis, I point out that there was a division of labour on intra and inter-settlement levels. Differences in the standardization of size and tendency of uniformity are observed. This suggests that beads were distributed in small areas.
In Chapter Ⅵ, I discuss the relationship between production activities and the society of Bronze Age Southern Korea. Long-term continuous settlements were rarely found in the Early period, but in the Late period they appeared in each area. The background of the appearance of this kind of settlement seems to have involved an increase of food production and intensification of networks among the investigated settlements. These factors appear to have been simultaneous and interactive. Furthermore, in the Late Bronze Age, we can find hierarchical relations between large and small settlements, although there were no prominent individuals with chiefly power in both settlements and cemeteries.
