Abstract
Looking at the area distribution of South Korean Bronze Age dwellings, the area distribution varies from very large to small throughout the entire period. Large residential areas disappear in the later period, but the area of residence is still not uniform even in the villages in the later period. This means that the extension of dwellings was common throughout the entire period. In the archaeological data, many dwellings that have been interpolated throughout the entire period from the early to the late period are identified, and the expansion patterns show differences depending on the period. There is no significant change in the minimum residential area from the early stage to the late stage, but the maximum extension limit is 200㎡ in the early stage, 80㎡ in the early stage, and 60㎡ in the late stage. According to this, the family size is estimated to be 2 to 50 people in the early stage, 2 to 40 people in the first half, and 4 to 12 people in the later stage. The difference in expansion patterns according to the period reflects the social demand of the residence style, from the early to early ‘large family joint residence’ to the later ‘generational independent residence’. In addition, ‘collaboration and labor intensification’ is interpreted as a socio-economic background that requires ‘large family co-residence’, and ‘differentiation of production units and strengthening of household independence’ are interpreted as a socio-economic background that requires ‘independent residence by household’.
