Abstract

The excavation survey of 15-16 districts in Gongpyeong-gu, Seoul, identified cultural traces from the early to the late Joseon Dynasty and Metallic artifacts were excavated. This Relic Site correspond to Gyeonpyeongbang in the central part of the Joseon Dynasty where government offices, royal palaces and commercial facilities are located.
 As a result of the survey on the relic, in particular, many metal artifacts such as metal type, which were only identified as records, were excavated in the cultural layer(16th century), the early Joseon Dynasty.
 Judging from the fence stone columns and drainage channels that can distinguish the boundary, the building remains where this metal artifact was excavated has an area of about 505㎡ of square land. There are a total of four building remains built within the site. This building remains are divided into two main buildings and two auxiliary buildings. Considering the housing construction regulations of the early Joseon Dynasty, it would have been owned by the class equivalent to 7 to 9 grade of the Joseon Dynasty's Poemgye(degree of official rank) rather than Seo-in group(庶人).
 The relics identified by this excavation survey will be important data for grasping the social status of Gyeonpyeongbang in the early Joseon Dynasty. In addition, metal artifacts excavated from the 16th century were intentionally buried. The meaning of this artifact can be clarified more clearly through future research.
