삼각형점토대토기의 등장과 소멸, 무문토기의 종말

Abstract

Triangular clay-stripe pottery is the last type of plain-pattern. In the Yeongnam region, it appeared at the end third century~middle second century B.C. Triangular clay stripes themselves were made in the process of pressing round ones to solidify the adherence of clay bands. Many different elements made complex appearances in the pottery that accompanied triangular clay-stripe pottery, the emergence of whose culture was related to the spread of the iron culture in the Yeongnam region. Pottery at the stage of triangular clay-stripe pottery became diverse in terms of type and size, which meant that the methods of occupation and cooking also became diverse based on the increased productive capacity. The increase of surplus products became the background of founding a “Kuk(國)”, and this social background was manifested in the diversification of pottery in type and size. In the first century B.C., grey pottery appeared and was buried in tombs. Triangular clay-stripe pottery was buried in tombs at the Daho-ri relic until the first century A.D. It was used at the living relics in the downstream section of the Nakdong River until the second century A.D. and replaced with reddish brown soft pottery. It meant that plain-pattern pottery was replaced with reddish brown soft pottery. The beginning of triangular clay-stripe pottery meant the beginning of the full-blown iron culture. Its end meant the end of plain-pattern pottery, which signified the end of the traditional production system that was home-based and non-full time. The end of triangular clay-stripe pottery and the appearance of soft pottery meant that even life pottery was made in the new ceramic art involving a pottery wheel and the beating technique. It means the end of an old era and the opening of a new era.
