Technological Changes and Raw Material Use at the Hopyeong-dong Site, Namyangju, Korea
The Hopyeong-dong site in Namyangju represents a key case for understanding long-term occupation and technological change during the Late Paleolithic period. This study starts from the recognition that the site should not be interpreted solely through discrete cultural layers, but rather as a long-term occupation site with a multi-layered structure. Based on stratigraphic data and absolute dating results, occupation phases at Hopyeong-dong were s…
Morphometric Analysis of Endscrapers from the Imsil Gadeok-ri Paleolithic Site
The endscraper is a representative artifact of the Paleolithic, characterized by its distinctive rounded edge. Since the early stages of Paleolithic research, it has drawn considerable scholarly attention and has been the subject of diverse studies. This paper examines 28 endscrapers unearthed from the second cultural layer of the Imsil Gadeok-ri Paleolithic site, analyzing their morphology, attributes, refitting artifacts, and quantitative chara…
Upper Paleolithic Cultural Regression in the Mankyung River basin
This study focuses on the dark brown layer among the Paleolithic sedimentary layers identified in the Mankyung River basin, elucidating the transitional and regressive characteristics of the Late Paleolithic culture through natural scientific analysis and archaeological review. The Mankyung River basin, adjacent to the Geum, Seomjin, and Yeongsan River basins in southern Korea, is a crucial area where Paleolithic cultures of different regions int…
Techno-functional approach to bifaces
A significant number of bifaces were found from Jeongok-ri Site 85-12, which was excavated from 2021 to 2022. Existing research methodology on bifaced stone tools tends to evaluate stone tool culture by quantifying and measuring the morphological characteristics of the artifacts, such as symmetry, regularity, and sophistication. However, these form-centered studies have methodological limitations in that they do not consider various factors that …
On the Internal Development of the Lithic Technology in Korea since MIS 4 stage
One of the controversial issues in Korean Paleolithic research is establishing the technical concept of the Middle Paleolithic. In this regard, the manufacturing technique of a 65,000-year-old lithic industry excavated from the first cultural layer of the Dosan site was analyzed. As a result, a technique of selecting appropriate pebble and manufacturing flakes for blank without pre-adjustment, a technique for producing sharp rectangular flakes by…
A Study on the Late Paleolithic in the upstream area of the Han River
In this study, one aspect of the Late Paleolithic in the upstream area of the Han River mainstream were examined through research on the Yeongok-ri site in Gwangju. The hinterland of the archaeological site is characterized by well-developed branch ridges, while the Gonjiam Stream flows in the foreground, an area where slope and fluvial deposits are formed. The stratigraphic layers at the site confirm this pattern, with artifacts located within t…
The Recently Discovered Paleolithic Sites in North Korea
Since 2010, significant archaeological excavations have taken place at four distinct sites in North Korea. Three cave sites — Tongam-dong Cave, Hyangmok-ri Cave, and Limgyong Cave — along with one open-air site, Sinpung-ri, have been the focus of these investigations. Tongam-dong Cave and Sinpung-ri are situated in South Pyongan Province, while Hyangmok-ri and Limgyong Caves are located in Gangdong County, Pyongyang City. The excavation at Tongam…
A Prelimilery Study on the Upper Paleolithicin the Imjin River Area
In the Imjin River Area, 7 major sites related to the Upper Paleolithic were excavated. The sites are located on the lava plateau, fluvial terrace and on top of the hillslope. The sites related with the lava plateau and fluvial terrace show differences in colluvium after sedimentation of alluvial deposits. And underwent a stable process of soilification towards the upper levels. Many of the Upper Paleolithic artifacts are identified within the up…
Clearing invisible lines
Hallam Movius is the most cited and controversial scholar among East Asian Paleolithic researchers. Criticisms of the Movius theory that have been raised so far have often been developed in such a way that the ‘Movius line’ is not valid because there are ‘Acheulean (type) handaxes’ in East Asia and Southeast Asia. However, it is not so easy to clearly answer the question, ‘To what extent does it resemble a true Acheulean hand axe?’ Therefore, rat…
The discovery and characterization of handaxes in the Baise Basin, China - with a focus on the Fengshudao site
This paper collates information on the current status of investigations and related handaxes in the Baise Basin over the last 50 years, focusing on the Fengshudao site, through a metrological analysis of handaxes Type,Shape, size, lithology and other attributes) and other areas (other sites in the Baise Basin, the Luonan Basin, the Imjin/Hantan River Basins , the Geum River Basin, the Yeongsan River Basin, the Acheulian handaxes in the western Ol…
Paleolithic Hide Processing Activities
Hide, one of the various work materials used by the people from the Paleolithic onwards, is an essential material for making cloths and tents for survival. The technology and methods of hide processing and use, however, might be understood based on archaeological data and ethnoarchaeological studies because there aren’t many direct hide-related evidences in Paleolithic sites. Researchers from Korea and abroad have undertaken studies on the use-we…
The Korean Pleistocene Record and its Contextual Characterization
Because of lack of appropriate data, both quantitatively and qualitatively, Korean palaeolithic research has been courting for diverse scientific approaches and accounts. The unbounded emphasis put upon scientific approaches has been far from fruitful and conducive to the methodological advancement of palaeolithic research though; this is wellenough demonstrated by rephrasing the characteristics of the Pleistocene record accumulated and analyzed …
An analysis of lithic artefacts on Whaseong Chenchen-ri Site(2021 excavation)
The investigation of a site for the new building of a factory in Cheoncheon-ri, Maesong-myeon, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi-do, a paleolithic cultural layer was excavated. At the distance of around over 50m on the other side of a lane on the northwestern side of this point, the Hwaseong Cheoncheon-ri Paleolithic Site that had been excavated in 2014 is located. At the time, as a result of the excavation that had been limited to 60m2, it has been report…
A Study on Blade Production Technique of Imsil Haga Paleolithic site
The blade is a representative artifact of the upper Paleolithic of Korea. The study of the manufacturing techniques of the blade and restoration of it play an important role in understanding of survival skills of upper Paleolithic human. This paper researches into the technology and process of the blade production through the blade production technology we learned from ‘Refitting artifact’ of Imsil Haga site, and analogizes the kind of the hammer…
The Implication of Jeongokri Lithic Assemblage in the CNU Museum
This article is a substitute for an official report of the lithic assemblage stored at Chungnam National University Museum (CNUM). The assemblage was originally acquired by previous museum personnel through several field trips at Jeongokri in 1979. Taking advantage of introducing the Jeongokri assemblage at CNUM, we also reviewed and examined the result of the past Jeongokri Excavation sessions during the earliest phase from 1979 to 1981 in order…
Reading the Cleaver from a Technical Perspective
The Jeongok-ri site is a representative Paleolithic site on the Korean Peninsula and is a key site for international academic debates on the existence of the Acheulean in East Asia. Up to now, the bifaces excavated from this site have been mainly studied with a typological methodology based on form. However, this methodology has a limitation in that it does not clearly indicate the difference between the two types of bifaces, hand-axe and cleaver…
