Abstract

The introduction of farming method using paddy field and the intensive agricultural production in the mid- Bronze Age brought about major changes in society, politics and economy in the Bronze Age. The increase in production involved a series of changes in political and economic aspects such as storage and surplus, housing style, village structure and formation of hierarchies. In particular, the production and exchange system of logis- tics is very important in that it provides a decisive clue for this pattern of change.
 This study aims to approach the production and distribution system in the society of the Bronze Age by pay- ing attention to a special container called red-burnished pottery. It is possible to present the use and symbolism, the official recognition for making skill and the systemized production-exchange system of red-burnished pot- tery. The commonality and differentiation of the most representative remains of the Geum River basin and the Nam River basin are compared and reviewed in the middle Bronze Age for this purpose. The degree of stan- dardization of pottery production according to the timing and model is reviewed using the coefficient of varia- tion. And the correlation between the production system and places of consumption of red-burnished pottery is analyzed through the fall-off curve.
 Towards the middle of the Bronze Age in the two regions, it is understood that standardization is underway compared to the previous period and plain pottery, through which the systematization of pottery production can be presumed. It is supposed that the production-exchange range of red-burnished pottery in the Nam River basin went through the process of expansion and reduction centering around Daepyeong-ri over the early and mid- term, in which process medium and large villages distributed along the Nam River seem to have played a major role. In the Geum River basin, it is assumed that a relatively narrow production-exchange system was formed based on direct exchange with the Songguk-ri. The differences found in the two regions are judged to be the result of a combination of several socioeconomic factors like the role of central villages and the differentiation of regional integrated networks including the consumption of pottery.
