Abstract

Woodworking tools made of stone during the Bronze Age include stone axes, flat-adze, stone chisels, pillar-shaped adze, and grooved adze. Woodworking tools can be divided into periods that can be broadly classified into the first, middle, and late periods, and cultural types that include localities such as Misari assemblage, Garakdong type, Yeoksamdong assemblage, Heunamri assemblage, Songgukri assemblage, Geomdanri assemblage, and Cheonjeonri assemblage. Changes in the assemblages of woodworking tools by period, cultural type, and woodworking tools are in line with the existing Bronze Age research on the livelihood and Economy. As a result of the analy sis, the s tone axes of the early Bronze Age were s imilar in s ize to those of the Neolithic Age. Therefore, in the early Bronze Age, the Livelihood and Economy related to the use of woodworking tools would have been similar to that of the Neolithic Age. Woodworking tools of Geomdanri assemblage, Cheonjeonri assemblage, and Songgukri assemblage in the middle of the Bronze Age were all different in size and assemblages. Woodworking tools of the Geomdanri assemblage maintain electrical tradition. The Cheonjeonri assemblage maintains the phenomenon of decreasing stone axes leading to the early Neolithic and Bronze Age and increasing the flat-adze. As for the Songgukri assemblage, the difference in size between the stone axe and the blade of the flat-adze. In addition, the composition ratio of the stone axe is greatly reduced, and the composition ratio of the flat-adze of the plane is greatly increased. This aspect means that the Songgukri assemblage has entered a new society based on the living environment, which is distinguished from other cultural assemblages in the early and mid-term. As described above, changes in the size and assemblage of woodworking tools in the Bronze Age are closely related to the living environment.
