남해안지역의 청동기문화와 정치체 형성과정

Abstract

In the Southern coastal region of the Korean Peninsula, bronze ware was mainly used from the Bronze Age to the early Iron Age-Three Kingdoms Period. The Lute-shaped bronze dagger culture of the Bronze Age have been identified 45 objects in 27 sites. According to the lead isotope analysis results of the bronze ware of the Lute-Shaped Bronze Age on southern coast region, it is estimated that most of them used raw materials from the zone 3(Chungcheong·Jeolla·norhtwest Gyeongsangbuk-do) of southern Korean Peninsula. Also, many bronze ware of slender bronze dagger culture during the early Iron Age used raw materials from the zone 2(southeastern Gangwon-do). From this results, it is thought that bronze ware from the Bronze Age-early Iron Age were made using raw materials from South Korea in the South. During the Proto-Three Kingdoms, not only the bronze ware of the Slender bronze dagger culture but also the Chinese and Japanese archipelago bronze ware were confirmed. In either case, most of the bronze raw materials are from China, so it is considered that bronze raw materials and products were imported together from China. The process of forming political establishments in the southern coast can be examined based on the research of war anthropology and war archaeology. Equal tribal societies and military societies with hierarchies are different in terms of weaponry, due to different types and patterns of warfare. Based on this, Lute-shaped bronze age culture in the Bronze Age shows the appearance of a tribal society, but there is a possibility that a commandership accompanied by coercion was formed in the Yeosu Peninsula. The appearance of Slender bronze dagger culture in early Iron Age, in turn gave rise to a weapon combination consisting of projectile weapons, hilt weapons and pole weapons. This combination appeared throughout the whole region and continued into the Proto-Three Kingdoms. Therefore, it is believed that statelets began to be formed as it entered the military general society from this time.
