This thesis identified characteristics of the Goryeo Celadon kiln in
Yucheon-ri, Buan, and the operating system of The Goryeo celadon kiln in
Yucheon-ri, Buan was studied by comparing the kiln, building site, and
workshop site of the celadon kiln in Yucheon-ri, Buan with others.
It seems that the celadon kiln site in Buan area during the Goryeo Dynasty
had a close relationship with that in Gochang area facing Julpo Bay. There
are four main reasons for the movement of ceramic industry from the
Gochang to the Buan area. The optimized environment based on the similar
natural environment was shared together. In addition, considering the
background of the era in which the craftsmen's promising phenomenon
occurred due to excessive special tribute, it is assumed that some of the
technicians of the celadon in the Gochang area moved and operated the
celadon system in the Buan area. Kilns, which seem to have operated
ceramics in the Jinseo-ri area of Buan in a relatively early period, shared a
similar length and inclination of the firing chamber with those of the celadon
kilns in the Gochang area, showing affinity. Modified bowls with
doughnut-shapped Footring(退化日暈底碗), bangu bottles fragment(盤口甁片),
and nok celadon(綠靑磁) were excavated from Jinseo-ri No. 7, and it was
found that bowls, which produced the most at that time, were produced at
the same operating period as Yonggye-ri, Gochang.
Efforts to develop celadon ceramic technology through changes in the kiln
structure were confirmed in the structure and characteristics of kilns in
Yucheon-ri, Buan. A stone-type chamber was installed to store the ashes
produced in the combustion chamber in order to manufacture a better glaze.
Kilns opened around the third quarter of the 12th century, an inclined fire sill
was confirmed, whereas in the celadon kilns opened from the fourth quarter
of the 12th century to the 13th century, a vertical fire sill was confirmed. In
addition, through several reconstructions, it was found that the height of the
fire sill was rising. In the late 12th century, it was interpreted as the inclined
and vertical fire sills coexisted, and structures of the kilns were different
depending on the quality of items being produced. As the range of ceramics
expanded from Jinseo-ri to Yucheon-ri, the natural environment in which
ceramics were conducted also changed. In particular, among celadon kilns in
Yucheon-ri, Buan, the place with the highest density of kilns was located in
the innermost part of the bay and is distributed in low hilly mountains.
Compared to Jinseo-ri located in the middle of the mountain, a lower natural
slope could be obtained in Yucheon-ri, and the potter could gradually control
the flames stably. The natural topography of the bay was able to supply
secondary clay that went through higher weathering and erosion, it could be
considered as thought that a large-scale kiln was gradually built inside the
bay. From an economic point of view, bisquit firing is an uneconomical
process. However, it was intended to produce better quality celadon by
actively introducing bisquit firing and it’s space. It is considered as an effort
to understand the structure of the kiln and improve the quality of products.
The building and workshop sites identified in the District 3 of Yucheon-ri,
Buan confirmed that all processes for making celadon were reflected in the
nature of the building and workshop sites, from the process of making
celadon to the stage of selection and storage. All of the building sites
identified in kilns are named building sites, but they seem to be distinguished
according to the function and characteristics in charge. Tiled-roofed buildings
found in the area of Yucheon-ri District 3, Buan, are in the form of buildings
that were not seen in so(所) manual industrial area. In addition, it was
presumed that building had a high hierarchy since the space was separated
and partitioned by using embankments. When examining the space structure
seen in the area of Yucheon-ri District 3, Buan, Goryeo celadon produced in
Buan gradually shows splendid patterns. It seems that the reason why
various inscribed pattern techniques were able to produce complex
high-quality celadon was due to the organic relationship between kilns,
buildings, and workshop sites. For efficient celadon production, a specialized
celadon production process was carried out in buildings and workshop sites.
In addition, a gravel deposit layer artificially crushed into pieces, not a
general waste deposit pit, was found. This is interpreted as a measure to
manufacture a large number of special celadons for use in the royal family,
manage the quality of the products, and prevent leakage of even failed
products.
This thesis is the study on characteristics and functions of the building and
workshop sites of the celadon kiln during the Goryeo Dynasty when the
importance of the structural features and remains of the celadon kiln in
Yucheon-ri, Buan was not noticed. Among the building and workshop sites
confirmed at the celadon kiln site during the Goryeo Dynasty, the building
sites identified in the District 3 of Yucheon-ri, Buan were reviewed. It seems
that Buan's celadon ceramics technology developed rapidly through the
process of changing and dividing structures of the kiln and the spatial
structure of building and workshop sites. Changes in the kilns, buildings and
workshop sites are considered to be the foundations that led celadon kiln in
Yucheon-ri, Buan to produce the finest inlaid celadon, along with Gangjin.
