Abstract

To test the applicability of resistivity survey methods for the archaeological prospection of a large-scale tumulus, a three-dimensional resistivity survey was conducted at the $3^{rd}$ tumulus at Bokam-ri, in Naju city, South Korea. Since accurate topographic relief of the tumulus and electrode locations are required to obtain a high resolution image of the subsurface, electrodes were installed after making grids by threads, which is commonly used in the archaeological investigation. In the data acquisition, data were measured using a 2 m electrode spacing with the line spacing of 1 m and each survey line was shifted 1 m to form an effective grid of 1 m ${\times}$ 1 m. Though the 3-D inversion of data, we could obtain the 3-D image of the tumulus, where we could identify the brilliant signature of buried tombs made of stones. The results were compared with the previous excavation results and we could convince that a 3-D resistivity imaging method is very useful to investigate a large-scale tumulus.

대형 고분의 발굴 조사를 위한 전기비저항 탐사법의 적용 가능성을 시험하기 위하여, 나주 복암리 3호분에 대하여 3차원 전기비저항 탐사를 수행하였다. 높은 해상도의 지하구조 영상을 얻기 위해서는 고분의 정확한 지형 구조 및 전극 위치에 대한 정보 획득이 필수적이다. 이에 따라 문화재 발굴 조사에서 사용하는 방법인 실을 이용한 구획설정법을 응용하여 전극을 설치하였다. 탐사 자료는, 전극 간격은 2 m, 측선 간격은 1 m로 하여 얻었으며, 각 탐사 측선은 상대적으로 1 m 엇갈리게 배열함으로써 전체적으로 고분에 대하여 1 m ${\times}$ 1m 크기의 격자망으로 구성하였다. 탐사 자료에 대하여 3차원 전기비저항 영상화를 수행하고 이를 기존의 발굴 조사 결과와 대비하였으며, 이로부터 확인된 매장 유구 분포와 전기비저항 영상이 매우 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 대형 고분에서 매장 유구를 조사할 때 3차원 전기비저항 영상화 기술이 매우 유용함을 밝혔다.
