Abstract

A scale Armor is usually excavated in a scattered form weakened by corrosion after its burial. Therefore, they should be brought into the indoor in a safe environment for the on-site conservation treatment as it was excavated. They should be placed on a stable support with a reinforced base in the indoor treatment. In this process, the bottom surface which can not be observed after the conservation treatment is placed for a record by actual survey and photography. But this method had a limit on figuring out the whole aspects of the artifact. For compensating the defect, duplication of the artifact was considered as an alternative method for the previous two methods in the case of conservation of the scale Armor from Jinyoung 2-Area, Gimhae. Neck guard was excavated in a distorted form by the earth pressure, and was hard to recognize the original shape. However, whole real material of its original form was secured through the combination of each duplicated lamellae. Throughout the application of the duplication technique in the process of conservation of scale Armor and neck guard, it could secure the real material of the bottom surface and elevate the understanding of the artifact. Moreover, a constitution of the armor could be identified more effectively.

찰갑은 매납 이후 부식으로 약화되고 토압에 의해 각 소찰들이 흐트러진 상태로 출토된다. 따라서 출토 즉시 현장 보존처리를 통해 출토 당시의 모습 그대로 실내로 옮겨져야 하며, 실내 보존처리에서는 단단한 지지층으로 보강하여 바닥에 놓여 진 후에도 안정적으로 유지될 수 있도록 조치해야 한다. 이 과정에서 보존처리 후 실견이 불가능한 바닥면에 대해서는 실측과 사진촬영 등을 통해 자료를 남기게 되는데, 이와 같은 자료만으로 유물을 정확히 이해하는데 한계가 있기 마련이다. 이를 보완하기 위한 방법으로 '김해 진영 2지구' 출토 찰갑의 보존처리에서는 바닥면에 대한 자료화 방법으로 실측, 사진촬영 이외에 복제를 통해 실견자료를 확보하고자 하였다. 또한 경갑은 토압에 의해 좌우로 찌그러져 정확한 형태를 파악하기 어려운 상태였는데, 개별 지판을 복제한 후 하나로 합쳐 매장 당시의 원형대로 복원하여 실물자료를 확보하였다. 찰갑의 보존처리에서 새로이 복제 기법을 적용하여 육안으로는 관찰이 어려웠던 바닥면과 경갑에 대한 실물자료를 확보하게 됨으로써, 유물에 대한 이해도를 높이고 갑옷의 구조를 보다 효과적으로 확인할 수 있게 되었다.
