Introduction

As the remains that got around to receiving the attention of the academic circle by being confirmed as the remains and the relics of the New Stone Age for the first time in the Daegu region, the settlement remains in Seobyeon-dong are the large-sized settlement remains of which the dwellings and the abstractions of the globular structures of the Bronze Age, the paddy fields of the Three Kingdoms Era, etc. had been investigated, other than the remains and the relics of the New Stone Age, too. These remains are located on the west side of the point where the Geumho River, which penetrates the Daegu Basin, and the Donghwa Stream, which is its tributary, join. Regarding the investigation in relation to these remains, by being started due to the housing site development construction in the Dongseobyeon District, it got around to excavation investigating from October 1998 until February 2000. Regarding these remains, among the settlement remains, there are the materials regarding the 49 buildings of the pit dwellings that are related to the residence and the 3 buildings that are at the high-rise building sites. And the cultivating architectural traces, the stone coffin tombs, the gathering stones, etc. had been investigated. From the architectural traces of the New Stone Age that had been investigated, although the number is small, through the relics that had been excavated, we can know the fact that the people at the time had resided at this place for a certain period of time. Above anything else, it got around to playing the important role of filling up the New Stone Age, which had been considered as a period of inactivity during the prehistoric era, in the Daegu region.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the low hill on the east side where the Geumho River and the Sin Stream join. With a triangular shape, this hill adjoins the Geumho River by materializing a precipice on the north side. And, one the west side, it adjoins the Sin Stream. The south side and the east side are materialized with the gradually inclined planes. In this whole area, the relics of the stone tools, the plain earthenware (The patternless earthenware), etc. have been distributed. Although, until now, the house site (the dwelling) was not discovered on the surface, looking at the distribution conditions of the earthenware and the stoneware, there had been a settlement at a nearby place. And this place is conjectured to be a workplace where the earthenware and the stoneware had been produced in the large amounts. And, looking at the fact that the stone coffin tombs of the Three Kingdoms Era had been distributed at the feet on the south side of the hill, it makes me guess that the residents in this whole area had continued the life by creating a big settlement until the initial phase of the Three Kingdoms Era afterwards, too. At the present, because even the foot on the south side of the hill has become a residential area, regarding the stone coffin tombs, even the traces have disappeared. And, although the stoneware and the earthenware pieces are collected only in the upper part of the hill, here, too with the buildings being built very recently, the remains are in the condition of having been destroyed a lot. The importance of these remains lies in the fact that they are the representative remains of the phase of the last period of the plain-patterned earthenware culture. Looking at the earthenware and the stoneware that had been distributed, it is judged that these remains are the biggest remains in not only the Sin Stream Basin, of course, but, also, in the Geumho River Basin in the last period of the plain-patterned earthenware culture. The amount of the relics is a lot to the extent that it can be said to be the birthplace of Daegu. If I look at the relics that had been collected, the thing that is the most is the stoneware in the shape of an adz (a stone-axe) of the horseshoes and the semi-horseshoes. And the next are the various kinds of the large and small-sized drillings (the stone installations) and the various kinds of the stone axes and the arrowheads (the flint arrowheads). And, as for the earth products, there are the plain-patterned earthenware, the divided (the grinding) jar grave (the earthenware coffin), the grilled leg earthenware, and the various kinds of the fishing net stones and irons.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the low hill on the west side of the place where the Sin Stream and the Geumho River join. This hill has been located by being in between the Yeonam Mountain on the east side and the Sin Stream. Regarding this hill, it is 130 meters above sea level and the circumference is around 2,000 meters. On the summit part on the north side of, and on the inclined plane on the west side of, the hill, which stretches out long to the south and the north, the plain-patterned earthenware sculpture (the patternless earthenware piece) and the stoneware sculpture have been scattered. It looks like these remains had been the life stage of the prehistoric natives together with the hill on the Yeonam Mountain that can be said to be the birthplace of Daegu. On the north side of these remains, the Paldal-dong Remains have been located in between the Geumho River. And it is estimated that this whole area, where the Geumho River and the Sin Stream join, is the place where the settlement had been formed for the very first time in the Daegu Basin. The relics that had been collected are the Yeonam Mountain Remains on the opposite side of the Sin Stream, the earthenware in the shape of an adz (the stone-axe), the stone knives (the stone blades), the stone axes, the plain-patterned earthenware, etc. The time of the relics, too, is similar to the Yeonam Mountain Remains. At the present, due to the expansion of the school grounds, the stone-cutting, and the residential section of the Gyeongsang Girls' High School, they have been nearly destroyed.

Introduction

The Dongcheon-dong Settlement Remains are a partial region of the excavation investigation of the Chilgok 3 Housing Site Development District. As an alluvial plain in the basin of the Palgeo Stream, which is a tributary of the Geumho River, the Daegu Chilgok area, of which the rapid urban development had taken place after entering into the 1990’s, is a basin that is surrounded by the Hamji Mountain, the Dodeok Mountain, and the Myeongbong Mountain. The excavation investigation regarding the Dongcheon-dong Settlement Remains had been carried out from July 1997 until February 1999. And, other than the settlement remains, including the dwellings, the pit globular structures, the holes, etc., the abstractions of the globular structures, the channels, the repair facilities, the arable lands, etc. on a large scale had been additionally confirmed. As for the globular structures that had been investigated, a lot of the materials that can reveal the whole picture of the settlement at the time- including the pit dwellings, the high-rise building sites, the stone coffin tombs, the wells, the water collection basins, the abstractions of the globular structures, the arable lands, the houses where the exchanging grains had been diluted and drunk, the channels, etc. of the Bronze Age- had been confirmed. And the globular structures, too, of the Three Kingdoms Era, including the pits, the repair facilities, the arable lands, etc. had been partially investigated.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the hill on the Geumho Riverside, which comes out of the north side of the urban district of Daegu. It is placed on the right side of the highway that goes to Seoul by going over the Paldal Bridge in Daegu. This hill is the end part of the mountain range branch that stretches to the east and west sides from the Hamji Mountain, which is separated by 1 km to the north side from the Geumho Riverside. Regarding the personality of the remains, the life residential remains and the tomb remains are mixed. At the place where the houses are concentrated in the low zone on the southeast side, the plain-patterned earthenware (The patternless earthenware), the half-moon stone knives (the half-moon stone blades), and the stone axes, which have the deep relations with the life, have been mainly collected. And, on the ridges on the north side and the west side, the spinal tombs (the wooden coffin tombs), the jar tombs (the jar burials), and the stone spinal bombs have been created. Regarding the remains at this place, the existence got around to being known while digging the trenches of the reserve forces in the year 1980. The architectural traces that had been discovered at that time had been the spinal tombs (the wooden coffin tombs). And the relics that had been unearthed were the red earthenware and the black earthenware that have the properties of the plain-patterned earthenware. They were the long, wooden jars (the long-necked jar), the high heel-attached dishes (the gobaes), the high heel-attached porcelain bowls (the support-attached rice bowl), and the steel knives (the steel swords). And the time is the Early Iron Age before and after the origin. And these relics have been exhibited at the National Daegu Museum at the present. Afterwards, too, in an exploration, the jar tombs (the jar burials) and the earthenware had, also, been discovered. Regarding these remains, in the year 1992, at the Kyungpook National University Museum, by excavating and investigating 17 wooden tombs from the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, over 200 pieces of the relics- including the grey earthenware, the unglazed earthenware, the spears (the iron helmets), the arrowheads (the iron heads), the sickles (the steel swords), the beads, etc.- had been unearthed. Also, very recently, at the Yeongnam Burial CultureAssets Research Institute, in the excavation of a site for the construction of an apartment, over 20 housing sites from the Bronze Age and over 300 plain-patterned earthenware jar tombs, jar tombs from the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period (jar burials), wooden tombs (wood coffin tombs), and stone and wooden tombs had been investigated. In this investigation, the bronze artifacts (The slender bronze daggers, the bronze spear, and the bronze lance) and the several hundred, various kinds of the relics of the earthenware, the stoneware, and the ironware had been unearthed. Considering the fact that, until now, most of the investigations in the Daegu region had taken place regarding the remains of the Bronze Age and the remains of the Three Kingdoms Period, these remains have been the good materials that connect one time that had been missing in the history of the Daegu sphere.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the dominant peak on the east side of the Chilgok Field on the north side of Daegu and, at the same time, the whole area of the hill on the southwest side of the Hamji Mountain, where there is the Palgeo Mountain Fortress. Although this mountain adjoins the Geumho River to the south and had been continued by the Chilgok Field, which is a mountainous plain to the northwest, at the present, this whole area has been an apartment complex. The ridge where the ancient tombs are distributed is relatively steep and rugged, and the ups and downs are extreme. On the ridge of this hill, in the whole area of the slope side of the relatively large-sized tomb, the several dozens of the small tombs are distributed. The structure of the tombs (The ancient tombs) is a special form that is called “the stone and wooden stone mound tomb” (The externally stone-piled tombs). All of the burial mounds covered with the stones and the woods are the stone mound tombs (The memorial stone tombs). They show the differences with the other tombs that are distributed in the whole area of the Daegu Basin. Among these tombs, regarding the Tomb No.56, an excavation investigation had been carried out by the Yeungnam University in the year 1975. The Tomb No. 56 that had been excavated and investigated is distinguished into the main tomb and the tomb on the north side. The main tomb is located above the ground that materializes a gentle slope from the southeast to the northwest. And the size of the burial mound is the diameter of 18 meters and the height of 4.5 meters. The tomb on the north side had been constructed by adjoining the north side end of the main tomb. With the size of the burial mound being the diameter of around 5 meters and the height of 2.6 meters, it is a stone mound, stone, wooden tomb (a red stone, wooden tomb). And, at the same time, regarding the relationship between the main tomb and the north side tomb, the main tomb had been made first, and the north side tomb had been additionally made later on. All of each of the tombs have the form of possessing a main, second, wooden room. They had been built in a form in which the width is narrower compared to the length. Regarding the size of the main, outer coffin of the main tomb, the length is 5.6 meters, the width is 9.3 meters, and the height is 1.45 meters. And the smooth parts of the broken stone surfaces had been piled up by adjusting. And, the more they go above, they contract to the inside. On the ceiling, 4 huge lid stones (the plate stones that cover the grave pit) were covered. Regarding the second, wooden room, with the size of the length being 6.4 meters, the width being 75 cm, and the height being 1.15 meters, it contracts to the inside the more that it goes above. And, on the ceiling, the flat lid stones were covered. Regarding the relics, hundreds of pieces, including the high-heel dish, the big and small pots, etc., had been unearthed. Because, at the present, most of these ancient tombs had suffered from the tomb robberies, the condition is that in which the destructions are extreme.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is one hill on the west side of the Geumho River. It is the eastern part hilly district which had been formed between the Sin Stream and the Geumho River, which flow through the West Daegu Basin. The ancient tombs in this whole area had been excavation investigated over two times in May and September 1975. And, among them, regarding the 2nd part, a written report was published at the Kyungpook National University Museum in the year 1989. Regarding the hill on which the ancient tombs had been created, at around 40 meters above sea level, although the Baeja Pond had been located on the northwest side of this hill, at the present, it had been filled up. And, on the north side, there is the Geomdan Earthen Rampart, which is separated by less than around 1 km. At the present, at the place where these ancient tombs had been located, the Daegu Buk Middle School and an apartment complex had been created. Taking a look at the investigation records at the time, as the pit-type, stone, wooden room tombs (The four stone-walled tombs for the dead bodies), most of the tombs had been constructed in the east and west directions on the inclined plane of a low hill on the south side. Regarding the sizes of the stone, wooden rooms, mostly, the lengths were around 3 meters ~ 4 meters and the widths were around 1 meter. And they had been made by using the plate stones. Regarding the relics, mainly, they were discovered at the ends on the both sides. They reach hundreds of pieces- including the earthen wares of the high-heeled dishes, the wooden jars (the long-necked jars), the high-heeled wooden jars (the support-attached long-necked jars), the jars, the bowl supports, the lids, etc. and the sickles, the hand knives, the rhythm wheels (the spindle carts), etc.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the end part of the ridge on the southeast side of the Hamji Mountain. It is the hill on the northwest side where the Geumho River and the Donghwa Stream joint. In the surroundings, beyond the Donghwa Stream, at the foot on the east side of Hakbong, there is the Bongmu Earthen Rampart. And, at the summit of the hill where there are the ancient tombs, the Palgeo Mountain Fortress is located. And there is an example, too, of the discovery of a bronze axe at a valley after going up around 2 km along the Donghwa Stream. The ancient tombs are distributed along the slope of the ridge. And around over 10 units are confirmed. Regarding the sizes of the burial mounds, although they have the diameters of around 5 meters, most of them have been peacefully calmed down. And, with nearly no trace of tomb theft, it remains in a relatively good condition. At this ancient tombs group, at a point, too, that is separated by 200m to the north, while reclaiming the field, the earthenware- including the high-heeled jars (The support-attached, long, wooden bottles), the jars (The short wooden bottles), etc.- had been unearthed.

Introduction

The place where the remains are located is the whole area of the slope on the west side of the ridge on the northeast side of the three-way intersection that divides into Saeteo and the Munju Village at the Geumho I.C. on the north side of the Geumho River. As a thing that is on the northwest side among the many hills in the whole area of Chilgok, this ridge is the hill that became independent because of the Ieon Stream. This ridge adjoins the Geumho River to the south. And, beyond the ridge on the east side, it is continued by the Chilgok field. Regarding the place where the ancient tombs group is distributed, because, very recently, it has been cultivated as an orchard, the tombs (the ancient tombs) are in the condition of having been destroyed nearly. With regard to the inside of the section of the construction of the Central Highway, in the year 1990, the Daegu National University of Education Museum had excavated and investigated. According to a written report, the stone tomb with the wooden room, in which there is a coffin with a corpse (The stone outer coffin), has a small size at the length of around 2 meters, the width of around 80 cm, and the height of around 60 cm. It is a pit-type, stone tomb with the wooden room, in which there is the coffin in which the corpse is kept (The pit stone-lined tomb), that uses the lid stone (The plate stone that covers the pit of a tomb). Regarding the wall surfaces, there are the thing that had been piled up by using the river stones (The stream stones) and the broken stones and the thing that had erected the plate stones. And, according to the earth pressure, most of the walls have entered by being pushed to the inside. As for the relics that were unearthed, there are the high-heeled dishes, the jars, the lids, etc.

Introduction

The castle is located on the Haan Hill by the Geumho River that flows through the north side of the Daegu Basin. And it stands face to face with the Bongmu Earthen Fortress with the Geumho River in between. The circumference of the castle is 1.3 km. The east side had used a natural cliff that had been formed by adjoining the Geumho River. And, on the north side and the south side, the ramparts had been built along the ridge on the hill. And the west side had used the method of building a wall while going around the whole area of the surrounding valley centered on the mountain peak that had been built by crossing the wide, erosional valley. At the present, because, due to the roads and the industrial complex, the west side had been destroyed, they have lost the traces. Along the low hill of the Geomdan Earthen Castle, to the south, there are the Bokhyeon-dong Ancient Tombs at a distance of less than 1 km. And, also, considering the point that the plain-patterned earthenware and the stoneware are scattered in the hill area of Haan, which is nearby, it is thought that, in this whole area, one settlement group had been formed from the prehistoric times and that the group had constructed this earthen fortress. Because, inside the earthen fortress, a settlement had been formed, there is a wide, open area where the life can be lived. Taking into account the fact that, actually, in the low area inside the fortress, the plain earthenware, the stoneware, and the unglazed earthenware pieces are scattered, it is conjectured that this earthen rampart had been constructed for the first time in the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period and that, afterwards, too, it had been continuously used as an entry protected castle. However, today, the traces nearly cannot be found.
