The rough chronology before and after the state establishment of Baekje had been ordered by mid 1990’s. The back bone of this chronology is summed up that Baekje as a full feathered state took shape at c.a. mid/late 3rd century A.D.
After then were added a number of new material from Pungnab earthen wall considered a candidate of early Baekje capital in late 1990’s. On the same time, a challenge to the existing chronology, of which the main is that Baekje’s state establishment timing should be more retrospective, was opposed by some excavator who members of National institute of cultural property. The evidence which supports their assertion is the alleged date of the building of Pungnab earthen wall, which is viewed as sometime from 1st century B.C. till 2nd century A.D. by them.
But the result of the detailed review on the all chronological material known untill now is against to the retrospectivist’s view. The conclusion reaffirms that Baekje as a state appeared at the late half of 3rd century(275~300 in detail) A.D.
