한반도 중부지역 고구려 석실분의 고고학적 함의

Abstract

Koguryo tomb is the empirical data that Koguryo occupied the central Korean Peninsula. The tomb of Koguryo's stone chamber excavated from the central Korean Peninsula, was left by Koguryo residents of the time. In that the central Korean Peninsula is the newly incorporated Koguryo territory, it was expected that stone chambered tombs hereand were possible other interpretation from Koguryo tombs in North Korea or northeastern China. So, this article tried to set the type of Koguryo stone chambered tombs in the central Korean Peninsula and find the archaeological implications inherent in the stone chambered tomb’s type. The types of Koguryo stone chambered tombs are divided based on the chamber planar plan and constructin skill. Since the rectangle tomb’s chamber was wide distribution in the central Korean Peninsula, it can be seen that information about the tomb’s chamber planr planar is shared among the inhabitants of the newly incorporated Koguryo realm. And the construction skill was divided into Koguryo style, localized Koguryo style, and non-Koguryo style, so it can be interpreted the difference of the groups that built tomb’s chambers. Therefore the diversity of tomb’s types suggests that the inhabitants of newly occupied Koguryo was diverse. From these, it can be seen that the spread of residents of Koguryo in the central Korean Peninsula took place in two steps proceeding. The first spread of southward took place between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th century, and the center of inhabitants was the Chuncheon area of the Bukhan River basin. The second was took place at the end of the 5th century following the invasion of Hanseong, and the descendants of the first Koguryo residents north of the Han River or the native incoporated Koguryo residents, spread along the Han River to various places. Therefore, judging from the aspects of Koguryo tomb’s types, the main bases of Koguryo's southern control can be said to be Chuncheon, Yongin in the southern inland of Gyeonggi-do, and Chungju in the Namhan River basin.
