Abstract

A study on the Joseon Dynasty's furnace walls, excavated from south Korea, was conducted to identify the correlations and differences of the furnace walls found in Jeolla and Gyeongsang regions. Three ruins in the Jeolla region and two in the Gyeongsang region were selected for the analysis. The results showed a layer change depending on the degree of plasticity and difference in the number of layers and particle phase. Furthermore, although the temperature to be subjected to heat was divided into 1300℃ and 1100℃, it was not a phenomenon that appeared according to the region. Additionally, analysis result of major components revealed that the TiO2 content of most samples does not exceed 1wt%, This means that the furnace did not smelt iron sand or smelted it into low-titanium sand. This study indicated a slight similarity between the furnace walls found in the two regions, and the correlation was determined based on the nature of the ruins, raw materials of the metals ores, and composition of the raw materials constituting the furnace walls.

본 연구에서는 한반도 남부지역에서 출토된 조선시대 노벽을 대상으로 자연과학적 분석을 통해 지역 간 재료나 배합비율, 피열온도 등 상관성 및 차이점을 파악하고자 하였다. 전라지역의 김제 은곡, 남원 성산리 투구봉, 화순 쌍산 항일의병 유적과 경상지역의 고성 소을비포성지, 합천 야로 유적에서 출토된 노벽을 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 소성의 정도에 따라 층위변화가 존재하며, 고성 노벽은 2개의 층위, 나머지 유적 노벽은 3개 층위로 구성되었다. 김제 은곡과 성산리 투구봉, 합천 야로 유적은 각상의 입자상, 성산 유적은 아각상, 고성 유적은 아원마상의 입자상을 보여 지역에 따라 특징적인 차이는 아니었다. 유적에 따라 피열온도는 1300℃와 1100℃ 정도로 구분되었으나 이 또한 지역에 따라 나타나는 현상은 아니었다. 주요성분함량에서 TiO2는 대부분의 시료가 1%를 넘지 않아 사철제련이 아니거나 저티탄 사철을 사용한 노였을 것으로 추정되었다. 지역 간 유사성은 크지 않으며, 유적의 성격과 제철원료, 노벽을 구성하는 원재료의 성분조성에 따라 상관성이 지어지는 것으로 보인다.
