Abstract

The Tombs of Changnyeong Gyo-dong and Songhyeon-dong are one of the tombs of leading political figures representing the Changnyeong area during the Three Kingdoms Period. The appearance of Changnyeong Gyo-dong No. 63, which was not damaged by the robbery, was an encouraging discovery. The excavation survey for No. 63 has been conducted in earnest since 2019.
 As a result of the investigation, various facilities and traces of ancestral rites were identified, including the Multiple stone-lined tombs structure consisting of maim tomb and sacrificed burial, double drainage facilities, the big stone and ritual marks placed side by side outside the northern wall, and presumptive ritual transfusion.
 In No. 63, the planning and concurrency of building several facilities together around the main building at the inclined location are confirmed, and decorative, forced, differential, and dependency are also confirmed inside and outside the main building.
 This is a major achievement in grasping one aspect of ancient tomb construction and faneral ritual, and it can be said to be a major data for understanding a series of burial processes. In addition, the excavation of colorful relics that can guess the identity of the tomb's main character and the relics introduced for the first time can be said to be decisive data that infers the life of the time.
 The burial process is highly conservative and difficult to explain without changes in the construction group. From the perspective that the sharing of rituals is based on ideological solidarity, the pure funeral Multiple stone-lined tombs, the transformation of horizontal entrance style tombs, and various listing rituals confirmed through this survey are unique elements seen in Bi-hwa gaya tombs.
 The development of horizontal entrance style tombs represents the unique local culture of the Changnyeong area, but nevertheless, the Silla-style elements shown in relics such as Gilt-bronze coffin excavated from ancient tombs and Silla-style earthenware cannot be overlooked. Although this can be understood from various perspectives, it is understood that the culture of the Changnyeong area showed an open and flexible attitude of acceptance from the perspective of the conservatism of the tomb.
 This paper focused on examining the construction process of No. 63 and organizing and revealing new structures and contents that have not been found in the ancient tombs in Changnyeong area that have been revealed so far. The aspects of Bi-hwa Gaya Ancient Tomb Culture, such as the nature, hierarchy, and the main process of listing rituals, will be studied along with the organization and restoration of relics in the future.
