Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of geomorphic surfaces and investigate their geomorphological development at Sinsong-ri archaeological sites by the classification of geomorphic surfaces. The sedimentary facies of trench 1, 2 and 3 were identified and pollen analysis was performed at site 3. The geomorphic surfaces are classified by hillslope, valley plain, alluvial fan and river terrace. Most of the study area is located on low hillsides and valley plains are connected with tidal flats extended from small river valley. Also, alluvial fans are distributed over the piedmont and narrow, long river terraces are developed downstream along the Sojeong-stream flowing between valley plain and hillsides. River valleys were deeply eroded during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) periods, responded to the lowest sea level among the hillslopes and valley plains are formed during the Holocene. The sedimentary facies are identified composed of basal gravel layers with coarse gravels and sands, relatively thick culture layer of the Bronze Age and thin layer during the early Iron Age in upper part study area. Thus, land uses during the Bronze Age people was performed more intensively comparing to the early Iron Age by deforestation for habitation.
서산시 고북면 신송리 일대의 지형면을 분류하여 지형면의 특징과 지형발달을 규명하였다. 또한 트렌치 1, 2, 3지점의 토양층 퇴적상을 파악하고 유기질층에 대해 화분분석을 행하였다. 지형면은 구릉지, 곡저평야, 선상지 및 하안단구로 구분된다. 연구지역은 대부분 낮은 구릉지가 중심이 되고, 소규모 하곡에는 곡저평야가 하류부 간석지와 연결된다. 또한 산록에는 선상지가 분포하며, 곡저평야와 구릉지 사이를 흐르는 소정천을 따라 하안단구가 하류쪽으로 길고 폭넓게 나타난다. 구릉지 주변에는 최종빙기동안 낮아진 해수면에 대응하여 깊은 하곡이 형성되었고, 홀로세에 곡저평야가 퇴적되었다. 퇴적층에서는 조립의 기저역층과 상대적으로 두꺼운 청동기 문화층, 그리고 상부의 얇은 초기철기시대 퇴적층이 확인되었다. 따라서 청동기시대에 사람들이 거주하면서 구릉지를 벌채하면서, 초기철기시대에 비하여 토지이용이 집약적으로 이루어졌을 것이다.
