This paper shows a new chronological sequence in the middle Neolithic period and includes newly published data. Furthermore, it determines the relationship between First and Middle Phase pottery. Then, it identifies a complex pattern, the pattern form and composition in detail of Middle Phase pottery; Sugari style.
In chapter Ⅲ, the category is based on the attributes that correlate with First Phase pottery by extracting Middle Phase pottery attributes. The category is divided into regions. In this paper, it separates Pyeonggeo-dong, Dongsam-dong, and Galmeori.
Chapter IV demonstrates the change over time of the category that is classified in chapter III. It makes each stage based on this demonstration. In addition, it identifies the concurrent relationship considering the differences of the order of designs, patterning on the entire surface, as well as the existence of specific pattern and shape.
Chapter Ⅴ compares First Phase pottery and Pyeonggeo-dong 1, the earliest pottery in the middle Neolithic period, in this paper. First Phase pottery is compared by dividing outside elements and inside elements. On the contrary, it is determined that Pyeonggeo-dong 1 pottery includes both elements. Therefore, in the formative period of Middle phase pottery, Pyeonggeo-dong 1, has a transitional character which has both elements. In the next stage, the elements, which are showed in the establishment period, are adopted selectively. Thus, the selective adoption process is one example of localization of Midwest pottery.
After the developing process, Middle Phase pottery gradually spread widely during the period of its greatest popularity. In the period of its greatest popularity, it shows small regionality throughout the south region. In the period of decline, it is similar with the early latter part.
As a result, this study analyzes triangle pattern and square-shaped pattern in a systematic way more than previous research. Through this paper, the study identifies chronological sequence of the entire south region. Also it explains the transition period of the first and the middle phase well and Middle phase pottery development process as well. Especially, Middle Phase pottery 1 appears not suddenly with migration but gradually based on its development by local culture. In addition, First Phase pottery has mixed outside elements.
