Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to eaamine the characteristics of tanged stone daggers unearthed from lifestyle features and graves throughout South Korea, thereby examining the locality and development patterns and estimating the nature and function of tanged stone daggers. As a result of dividing the South Korean region into five regions and reviewing tanged stone daggers into measuring and nominal attributes, it was confirmed that the daggers’ tang part, which was noted in the previous study, was manufactured in the range of 2~5.4cm, not the dagger’s tang part, and the maximum width of the daggers’ body. According to the results of an analysis of temporality using the values of radiocarbon dating, features, and association relics, tanged stone daggers, it was confirmed that tanged stone daggers appeared in all parts of South Korea from the early Bronze Age, and early stone swords were preferred. In the mid-term, diversity was confirmed in the size of the stone sword and the shape of the daggers’ tang part, and it began to be buried in the tomb along with the remains of life. However, Jungbu, Gangwon, Yeongnam, and East Coast regions in which the traditions of the Early Bronze Age’s material culture lasted, the Age’s tradition of using tanged stone daggers remained in lifestyle features only. On the other hand, they began to appear in the Middle Bronze age, mostly as미 burial accessories of graves, in the Honam and Yeongnam regions. The burial of tanged stone daggers was confirmed from the Middle Bronze Age and was understood as resulting from the spread of the Songgukri type. In Jungbu region, however, the emergence of nine types and a type of stone daggers related to the cultural region of Gakyung pottery were confirmed from an earlier time. Accordingly, the spread of tanged stone daggers in South Korea was understood as having originated in Jungbu region.
