Major and trace elements and cross section textures of the large-sized jar-coffins excavated in the Young San river area have been analyzed for categorization according to geochemical characteristics of the raw materials. As results, we have found out that the jar-coffins of the Oryang-dong and Ungok-dong have very similar characteristics, and those of Songwol-dong and Jangdeung show distinguishable characteristics from the others. In addition, similar characteristics have been detected in some U-shape jar-coffins from several sites such as Oryang-dong, Ungok-dong, Sinchon-ri, Mansu-ri and Yeon-ri posess on trace elements and cross section texture. These results indicate that there was active physical migration although the detail route of the physical migration is unclear at current stage.
