고대 농업 사회의 위기 관리 전략: 원삼국시대 중부지방을 대상으로

Abstract

In the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, as the characteristics of an intensive agricultural society emerged, new types of risk management strategies were expected to emerge and differ according to regional conditions. In this paper, various types of archaeological data were analyzed to identify risk management strategies related to risk prevention, self-assumption, and pooling. First, the types and quantities of crop and livestock remains were analyzed to identify risk prevention strategies such as diversification and the use of environmentally sensitive species, and second, wild animal and plant remains and hunting-related tools were analyzed to identify risk prevention strategies based on food diversification. Lastly, the third attempt was to reveal risk self-assumption and pooling strategies through analysis of storage patterns.
 As a result of the analysis of archaeological data, it was found that in the central region of the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, various foods were used as possible, and millet with low environmental sensitivity were mainly cultivated to prevent risk, and risk was assumed and shared with limited storage pooling strategies. Differences between regions or sites were observed in detail in risk prevention strategies such as crop diversity, the proportion of hunter-gathering, and the proportion of broomcorn millet and Barnyard millet with different environmental sensitivity, and it was estimated that these differences were affected by environmental conditions. The risk management strategy, which appeared in the central region of the Proto-Three Kingdoms period, was thought to show that maintaining a stable subsistence was important rather than taking risks to obtain high profits.
