Abstract

This study examined the manufacturing process of a furnace wall excavated from the Songdu-ri Site in Jincheon, and the difference in material composition between the 11 layers of the wall using physicochemical analyses. Based on microstructure observations, these layers could be largely divided into three groups: an undercalcined first layer, calcined second to ninth layer with evidences of partial heat, and non-fired soil layers from the tenth to the eleventh layer. Particle size analyses revealed that the fired layer constituted a relatively higher content of coarse sand than the non-fired layer. This difference was further confirmed by the results of the curvature coefficient analysis. An analysis of the constituent minerals showed similar overall XRD diffraction patterns between the different layers, but variations in the intensity of the low-temperature and high-temperature minerals. This indicates that the degree of heat was different. The thermal analysis results demonstrated that the heating peak of mullite was only reached in the first and second layers of the wall, thus implying these as the layers to be finally used. Consequently, no significant difference could be observed between the materials of the various layers of the wall. Thus, it can be suggested that the furnace wall was constructed using clay, which had a composition similar to that of the soil present in the area. However, the shape and characteristics of the constituent particles between the layers displayed partial variations, and it is possible that some external materials might have been added.

본 연구는 진천 송두리 유적에서 출토된 노벽을 대상으로 총 11개의 층위별로 물리화학적인 분석을 실시하여 노벽의 층위 간 재료학적 차이 및 제작방법을 추론하였다. 미세조직 관찰 결과, 출토 노벽의 층위는 크게 3개의 그룹으로 나누어지며, 1층은 과소성층, 2~9층은 일부 피열이 관찰되는 소성층, 10~11층은 비소성 토양층으로 구분되었다. 입도분석 결과, 소성층은 굵은 모래의 함량이 비소성층에 비해 상대적으로 높았고, 곡률계수 분석결과에서도 차이를 확인하였다. 구성광물 분석결과, 전체적인 XRD 회절 패턴은 유사하나 저온성 광물과 고온성 광물의 강도가 층위 간 차이가 발생하여 피열의 정도가 달랐으며, 열분석 결과에서 1층과 2층에서만 뮬라이트 발열피크가 발견되지 않아 최종적으로 사용된 층위로 추정하였다. 결과적으로 노벽의 층위 간 재료학적 차이가 크지 않아 노벽 제작 시 기존 주변의 토양과 성분이 유사한 점토를 사용하여 축로하였을 것으로 판단되나, 층위 간 구성입자의 형상과 특징이 일부 다른 것으로 보아 수비를 하거나 석립을 일부 첨가했을 가능성이 있다.
