Abstract

The this study's objective was to conduct species identification and tree-ring dating for the wood elements of Daewoong-jeon(main temple), Hwagye-temple, Seoul, Korea. Most of the wood elements were made from Pinus spp.(hard pine). However, one large beam was constructed from Abies spp.. For the tree-ring dating, cores were taken from the elements using a drill, and ring-width plots of individual samples were produced with the TSAP software program. The tree-ring dating results showed that, the date of the outermost ring of most elements (20 elements), including beams and pillars, were from AD 1839 to 1870. Among them, five elements had bark, and felling dates were AD 1868 and 1869. These dates confirmed the historical records that Daewoongjeon was rebuilt in AD 1870 from the records of hidden materials(Bokjangmul) in Jongdori by the survey 2012.

본 연구에서는 서울 화계사 대웅전의 목부재에 대한 수종과 연륜연대분석을 진행하여 재질과 정확한 건축역사를 조사하고자 하였다. 대웅전 목부재(27점)의 수종은 대부분 소나무속 중 경송류로 식별되었고, 대보 1점만 전나무속으로 식별되었다. 연륜연대분석은 코어링법을 이용하여 시료 채취하였으며, TSAP 프로그램을 이용하여 크로스데이팅 하였다. 연륜연대분석 결과, 보와 기둥과 같은 구조재 20점들에 대한 최외각 연도는 1839년에서 1870년으로 확인되었다. 그 중 수피가 존재하는 5점의 벌채연도는 1869년과 1870년으로 나타내어, 2012년 실측조사에서 종도리 복장물에서 확인된 중건기록(1870년)과 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
