Abstract

This study investigates the characteristics of ridge-end tiles excavated from temple sites in Sabi Baekje. Analyses were carried out to evaluate the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the excavated samples. All the samples except one from the Gunsu-ri temple exhibit a similar element distribution pattern in rare earth element contents. However, major and trace element contents differ because the mixing method used in each sample depends on the type of ridge-end tile. The mineral components of the tiles were grouped into three types, irrespective of the excavated areas. Group 2 and 3 were probably developed in high-temperature fires in comparison with Group 1; this is verified by the Fe2O3 content of more than 5 wt% in these samples. In conclusion, the raw materials utilized in each ridge-end tile are prone to have changed according to the time of use of the tile, regardless of the excavated site.

본 연구는 사비백제시기 사찰지에서 출토된 치미를 대상으로 화학적, 광물학적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 화학적 특성에서 군수리사지 출토 치미 1점을 제외한 대부분의 치미는 유사한 희토류 원소 분포패턴을 보이기 때문에 동일한 기반암에서 생성된 점토를 사용하였음이 확인된다. 하지만 주성분 및 미량원소 조성양상이 달라 동일 기반암이라 할지라도 차별화된 풍화과정을 겪었거나 제작과정에서 차이가 있었을 것으로 추정된다. 광물학적 특성은 3개의 유형으로 구분되며 Fe2O3-TiO2의 도식에서 Fe2O3이 5 wt% 이상 검출되는 시료가 상대적으로 높은 소성온도로 제작되었을 것으로 추정되는 그룹과 동일한 양상이 확인된다. 따라서 출토지에 따른 동질성은 낮으나 시료 간의 군집 경향이 확인되어 사용처에 따른 제작이 이루어졌다고 보다는 사용시점에 따른 제작이 진행되었을 가능성이 높다.
