Abstract
A wooden coffin estimated to be made in Baikjae Dynasty in AD. 6 century was excavated from ancient tombs in Nung-san ri, and examined to identify its wood species using light and electron microscopy. Wooden part attached to oxdized complex around the iron nails on the coffin was electro-chemically separated to prepare the samples for observation. The results revealed that 24 samples out of 28 samples investigated were identified as Torreya nucifera, while the rest 4 samples were identified as Pinus densiflora.
