토기생산체계로 살펴본 신라통일양식토기의 성립

Abstract

This study attempts to examine the establishment of Unified Silla-type pottery from the point of view of the pottery production system. For this purpose, the distribution of production facilities, production scale, and production process were reviewed in the Songok-dong/Mulcheon-ri and Hwagok-ri sites of Gyeongju, which are representative production sites in the capital of Silla, to shed light on their characteristics and determine whether changes in production system had occurred. It is suggested that the production organization and scale expanded after unification, and the clay preparation process was separated from each production unit, making pottery production more efficient. This change in the production system is thought to be related to an increase in the demand for pottery, resulting from an increase in population due to the unification of the three kingdoms by Silla. The decrease in types and the expansion of stamped-design on the pottery surface seen in Unified Silla-type pottery are probably related to these changes in the production system and the increase in demand for pottery.
