Abstract
Two lime-soil mixture barrier tombs were excavated from the tomb complex of the Woo Family of the Danyang Wu clan dating to the Joseon dynasty in Godeung-dong, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. Relevant records offer information for more precisely dating these tombs and identifying their occupants. Tomb No. 4, in which a married couple was interred, has a corbeled square ceiling and inscriptions and paintings on its outer walls. The conservation treatment and an infrared inspection revealed that they were intended to express mourning. Tomb No. 6 has a corbeled rectangular ceiling and a single individual interred within. As the basic structure of the tomb was partially damaged in the process of disassembling it while moving the burial site, it was planned to exhibit the tomb outdoors after the remains and relics are collected. However, as the conservation treatment revealed the presence of funeral fans and pitch, and since the remaining structure clearly demonstrates the features of lime-soil mixture barrier tombs from the Joseon dynasty, the plan was changed following a meeting of an advisory council that decided in favor of presenting the tomb indoors. According to the analysis, the pitch is assumed to be resin of a rather low purity due to the immixture of foreign substances. The two tombs are expected to serve as important materials for related research, such as changes by period in the forms of Joseon-era tombs.
성남시 고등동에서 확인된 조선시대 회격묘 2기는 우씨 묘역에서 발굴되어 기록을 통해 묘주와 조성 시기를 유추 할 수 있는 유구이다. 말각방형으로 합장묘인 4호묘는 수습과정 중 외곽벽에서 글씨와 그림이 확인되었으며, 보존처리 및 적외선조사 결과 만사로 판단되었다. 말각장방형 단묘인 6호묘는 파묘되면서 일부 파괴되어 수습 후 야외전시 될 예정이었다. 그러나 보존처리 결과 운아삽과 역청이 확인되고 잔존하는 형태가 조선시대 회격묘의 양상을 잘 보여주고 있어 자문회의를 통하여 실내전시로 보존방향이 변경되었다. 역청은 분석 결과 송진으로 추정되며 이물질의 혼입으로 순도는 높지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 2기의 회격묘는 조선시대 무덤 양식의 변화 양상 등 학술연구에 있어 중요한 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
