어은리 출토 장식품으로 본 진한(辰韓)과 진한(秦漢)의 교류

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to grasp the exchange patterns between Golbeol state of Jin-han and Qin and Han Dynasties through the adornments excavated from Yeongcheon Eoeun-Ri. Analysis methods are ‘Cognitive archaeology’ and ‘restoring the object to its original shape’. Even if it is the same object, its description may vary depending on how it is perceived, and the shape of relics may also be determined by descriptions expressed differently. Collective descriptions that are being repeated can be considered as group perceptions being expressed and can also be understood as the representation of the group. If not just currently discovered relics but if the whole relics are also restored, the entire shape can be recognized even with some parts of the relics. This is ‘the restoration of the object to its original shape’. Among the adornments excavated in Eoeun-Ri, chariot adornments are parts of chariots that are excavated only from royal tombs of Ancient China, and through this fact, it can be assumed that the presence of specific chariot adornments indicates that such chariots could only be used by royalties. Although belt hooks were originated from nomad culture, as Kingdom Zhongshan became feudal lords of Ancient China, belt hooks were developed in Kingdom Zhongshan and then were introduced into the Korean Peninsula after the collapse of Kingdom Zhongshan; in this process, belt hooks were also introduced to Nakrang, affected by the establishment of a new distribution network through the collapse of Ancient Joseon and the expansion of Han’s influence at the time. Through this distribution network, not only belt hooks but also chariots that royalties of Ancient China used were introduced into the area of Eoeun-Ri (Golbeol state). As for the type of exchange, the perspective of ‘supply and demand’ can be considered. Although the royal class of Ancient China existed as the closest consumers, the fact that chariots were distributed all the way to Yeongcheon Eoeun-Ri area which is far in distance shows that there was a demand for high-end chariots from the chieftains of Golbeol state in Eoeun-Ri area, and at the same time it shows that although the chieftains of Golbeol state might be different in hierarchy, it had a similar position and sufficient purchasing power from those of Ancient China. In addition, it proves that Golbeol state was considerably a powerful force that chariots which only royalties could use for Nakrang and Ancient China were supplied. Since Eoeun-Ri area was located among other countries of Qin and Han Dynasties and Nakrang as well as Byeon-han, it is judged that Golbeol state played an important role as a traffic route.
