Abstract

The purpose of this study was to carry out radiocarbon dating using a wiggle match, of wooden boards and grains from the Mado shipwreck No. 4, which was excavated from Mado in Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. The result of the wiggle matching for four decennial tree-ring samples of the stern plank produced a ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ radiocarbon date (95.4% confidence interval) of A.D. 1337-1356 or A.D. 1412-1429. The grains produced a ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ radiocarbon date (95.4% confidence interval) of A.D. 1415-1455. This indicated that the Mado shipwreck No. 4 belonged to the early or middle of the 15th century. These radiocarbon dating results correlate with the date that was speculated by archaeologists according to the ship's structure and ceramic style.

이 연구의 목적은 충청남도 태안군 근흥면 마도에서 발굴된 마도4호선의 목부재와 곡물의 방사성탄소연대 분석을 통해 고선박의 연대를 규명하는 것이다. 선미판재에서 10년 간격으로 채취된 4개의 연륜에 대한 방사성탄소연대를 위글 매치한 결과, 최외각 연륜의 ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ 연대(95.4% 신뢰구간)에서 A.D. 1337-1356년 또는 A.D. 1412-1429년으로, 곡물은 A.D. 1415-1455년으로 산출되어 이 고선박은 15세기 초중반에 난파되었음을 시사한다. 이 연대는 선박의 구조, 자기의 양식으로 추론된 고고학적 편년과 일치되는 결과이다.
