Formation Environment of Quaternary deposits and Palynology of Jangheung-ri Archaeological Site (Jiphyeon County, Jinju City), Korea
진주 집현 장흥리 유적 제4기 퇴적층 형성 및 식생환경 연구
Abstract
In Korea, many open-air upper palaeolithic sites are located at the river valley, particularly exposed in gently rotting terrain along the river course. They are situated at an altitude less trail 30 m above present river bottom, and covered with the blankets of slope deposits of several meters in thickness. The purpose of this research is to eluridate depositional and vegetational environment of the alluvial upper palaeolithic Jangheung-ri sites on the basis of analytical properties of grain size population, chronology, palynology, soil chemistry and clay mineralogy and magnetic susceptibility of the Jangheung-ri Quaternary formations. The lithostratograpy of Jangheung-ri sit is subdivided into 3 layers based on the depositional sequence and radiocarbon ages. From bottom to top, they are composed of slope deposits with lower paleosol layers, young fluvial sand and gravel with backswamp organic muds, and upper paleosol layers. The upper paleosol was formed under rather dry climatic condition between each flooding period. Dessication cracks were prevalent in the soil solum which was filled with secondarily minuted fragments due to pedogenetic process. The soil structure shows typical braided-typed cracks in the root part of cracking texture, and more diversified pattern of crackings downward. The young fluvial sand gravel were formed by rather perennial streams after LGM. The main part of organic muds was particularly formed after 15Ka. Local backswamp were flourished with organic muds and graded suspension materials in the flooding muds were intermittently accumulated in the organic muds until ca. 11Ka. This episode was associated with migration of Nam River toward present course. Organic muds were formed in backswamp or local pond. Abies/Picea-Betula with Ranunculaceae, Compositae, Cyperaceae were prevalent. This period is characterized with B
한국의 후기 구석기 유적 중에서 하성기원의 한데유적은 주로 하상 비고 약 30m 이내의 저평한 구릉지와 곡간지, 그리고 충적평야를 이루고 있으며, 이런 지형은 옛사람의 생활공간으로 널리 이용되었다. 본 연구는 집현 장흥리 후기 구석기 유적지의 제4기층의 분포, 입도분석, 연대측정, 화분분석, 지화학과 점토광물, 박편분석, 대자율 분포 등의 연구를 통하여, 장흥리 유적의 제4기말 고토양층과 퇴적층 형성환경과 식생활환경을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 유적지층 분류와 형성시기 연구결과, 장흥리 구석기 유적지는 하부로부터 (1) 사면기원퇴적층/하부 고토양층, (2) 신기하성사력층과 유기질 점토층, (3) 신기 고토양층으로 3대분할 수 있다. 이 중 신기 고토양층은 홀로세 동안 하성범람과 범람 기간 사이의 정지기 동안 형성된 건열(desication cracks)을 포함하고 있다. 장흥리 유적의 신기 하성사력층과 유기질 니층은 최종빙기 최성기 이후에 형성된 지층이다. 약 17Ka 이후에는 신기하성사력층과 유기질 점토층의 형성이 활발했으며, 장흥리 유적에서 약 15,000yrsB.P와 11,000yrsB.P에 걸치는 것으로 나타났다. 신기 하성퇴적층은 플라이스토세 최말기인 B
