Abstract

This thesis is a study on the bladed stone ax manufacturing and production system of the Korean bronze age at the Namgang river basin. The bladed stone ax is presumed to be a wood working tool. From the earlier bronze age(早期) to the early years of the bronze age(前期), the flat adze were mainly produced. In the second half of the early years(前期後半), the pillar shaped adze was newly manufactured. In the late period(後期), the pillar shaped adze was improved and the grooved adze was produced. A variety of tool sets have been estab- lished with existing the flat-adze and the pillar shaped adze at the same time. It is estimated that the growing demand for wooden tools as they entered a full-fledged agricultural society in the late bronze age increased the types and quantity of wooden tools and required functional development. In addition, it would have been equipped with an efficient stoneware production system.
 Also, through the distribution network of Hornfels stone knives, which were buried together in tombs and had the majestic character, there is a possibility that high-quality stone tools or materials made of Hornfels other than stone knives were included. The large pillar shaped adze excavated from the remains of the bronze age set- tlement in the Namgang river basin could be the clue.
