Mortuary Expressions of Identity and Status at the Xichagou Site, Liaoning, China
This study examines mortuary assemblages from the Xichagou site in Liaoning, China, dated to c. 200–1 bc . A quantitative analysis of grave goods from 63 burials, employing multi-dimensional scaling and k-means cluster analysis, yields several key findings. First, the graves can be divided into three distinct groups: one characterized by blue glass beads; another by bronze buttons and a greater diversity of artifacts; and a third by weapons and c…

Peach (Prunus persica) cultivation in ancient Korea
Intragroup social differentiation and household inequality in prehistoric Mumun settlements of Korea
Paddy rice, aggregation, and the development of Mumun social organization in Ulsan, southeastern Korea
Leadership in the Emergent Baekje State
The process of state formation is a social phenomenon closely connected with a polity’s external relationships. During peer–polity interactions, polities undergo social reorganization as they mutually influence each other. This study examines this process and argues that in central-western Korea, around 200–400 CE, hostile interactions among multiple polities weakened the power of ingroup members to level social differences and increased social c…
Aggregation, status competition and levelling mechanisms in prehistoric Chulmun, Korea
This article discusses the aggregation and dispersion of the Chulmun hunter-gatherers (c.8000–1500bce) in prehistoric Korea. The following observations are made from settlement datasets. First, large numbers of houses do not necessarily imply aggregation, as they can be palimpsests of dwelling structures from different phases. Second, aggregation settlements were segmented and contained multiple discrete subunits. Individual residential clusters …
Cultivation of Perilla frutescens (Lamiaceae) in prehistoric Korea
Collective action and leadership strategies in the Mahan polities
Mid- to late Holocene cooling events in the Korean Peninsula and their possible impact on ancient societies
We present a multiproxy record using pollen, magnetic susceptibility, carbon isotopic composition, carbon/nitrogen ratio, and particle size of mid- to late Holocene environmental changes based on a sediment core from the Pomaeho lagoon on the east coast of Korea. The records indicate that climate deteriorations around 6400 cal yr BP and 4000 cal yr BP caused rapid vegetation changes in the study area, which were presumably attributable to low sun…

Rice and Social Differentiation on a Volcanic Island
This article presents evidence for prehistoric rice cultivation on the island of Jeju (Jejudo), Korea. It also discusses sociopolitical contexts in which the people of this island decided to incorporate rice into their lifeways. Although Jejudo is culturally closely related to the southern region of the Korean peninsula, the nearest landmass to the island, their environmental conditions are radically different. Jejudo is not suitable for intensiv…

Population and social aggregation in the Neolithic Chulmun villages of Korea
Rice, Ethnicity, and the Collation of Archaeobotanical Data for Prehistoric Korea
Vegetation history, agricultural intensification, and changes in wood-resource utilization in ancient Southwest Korea (1500 bc – ad 700)
An overview is presented of the analysis of wood remains at 11 archaeological sites in the southwestern region of the Korean Peninsula, and the results are used to shed light on the changes in wood-resource selection around the villages over the periods of c. 1500–300 bc and ad 1–700. Pollen research on swamps of the region has previously revealed that oak ( Quercus), alder ( Alnus), and pine ( Pinus) were the major woodland components, and that …
