다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As part of a preliminary attempt to understand the socioeconomic aspects of the Bronze Age, this study examined the production-distribution system of red burnished pottery, one of the characteristic artifacts of the Namgang River Basin, as well as the changing nature of this system over time.
First, based on a review of current archaeological and ethnographic studies, five types of pottery production systems were established, according to production scale, degree of specialization, degree of concentration, working hours and intensity. In order to understand the distribution system of the pottery, various social and environmental conditions, such as production and consumption areas, consumption units, product characteristics, and elite control were examined.
Next, the nature of the production system (such as the production level, scale, and specialization) of the Namgang River Basin was identified using the coefficient of variation of the pottery. According to the analysis of the coefficient of variation values, it was proposed that ordinary pottery (i.e. mumun pottery) was likely produced by domestic craftspeople and then consumed within individual households or villages, whereas red burnished pottery was produced by craftspeople based at rudimentary level specialized production workshops (and/or skilled domestic craftspeople) and then consumed over a wider area.
Finally, the distribution network of red burnished pottery was examined using fall off analysis. A correlation could be identified between the distance from the production site to the consumption site and the quantity of pottery. In particular, significant deviations were observed between settlement sites and burial sites in the simple linear regression equation. The former showed results close to down-the-line trade, and the latter to directional trade and/or no distance decay trade.
