  • 송국리유적은 1974년 비파형동검이 부장된 석관묘가 발굴됨으로써 학계에 알려지기 시작하였으며, 1975년부터 시작된 본격적인 발굴조사를 통하여 한반도 청동기시대에 획기를 이루는 중요한 유적임이 확인되었다. 그러나 지금까지 공개된 송국리유적 보고문에는 전체 평면도조차 제시되지 못하고 있어 유적의 전모를 이해하기 어려운 상황이다. 따라서 본고에서는 송국리유적의 보고서와 관련 보고문을 재검토하여 발굴된 전체 유구의 배치도를 작성함으로써 연구의 기초자료를확보하였다 그리고 이러한 내용과 개별 유구및 출토유물에 대한 분석결과를 최근의 발굴.연구성과와 비교 검토함으로써 송국리유적의 시기와 성격에대한 새로운 견해를 제시하였다. 송국리유적에서는 주거지, 부속유구, 저장공, 요지, 목책렬, 녹채, 굴립주건물지 등의 생활 유구와 석관묘, 옹관묘, 토광묘 등의 분묘 유구, 그리고 대지조성면과 같은 대규모 토목공사의 증거들이 확인되었다. 이들은 유구의 분포 양상이나 유물상의 유사성 등을 통하여 볼 때 동일시기에 해당하는 것으로 판단되는데, 구체적인 시기는 방사성탄소연대 측정치에 의하여 대략 B.C. 850-550년의 범위로 산정되었다. 한편,송국리유적에서는 논농사의 집약화를 통하여 생산량을 증대시켰으며, 이러한 경제력을 바탕으로 유력자또는 유력 집단이 등장하게 되었을 것이다. 그들은 자신의 우월적 지위를 유지하고 더 많은 잉여생산물을 안전하게 보호하기 위하여 방어 취락을 형성하였으며, 이를차지하기 위한 빈번한 전쟁이 있었던 것으로추정된다. 그러나 어느 정도의 안정적인 삶을 유지하였으리라 생각되는데, 이는 인구 증가에 의한 주거 공간의 확대를 통하여 짐작할 수 있다. 결국 송국리유적은 이러한 과정을 거쳐 주변의 여러 취락과 관련을 맺으면서 그 정점에 위치하는 중심취락으로 성장하였을 것이다.

  • 한국 고고학에서 토기는 그 출토 빈도만큼 많은 연구가 이루어진 유물이다. 지금까지는 주로 토기 표면에 시문된 문양이나 토기의 형태를 바탕으로 한 편년 연구들이 진행되어왔다. 하지만 연구자들의 주된 관심이 토기의 시간적 선후관계에 집중되어 토기 자체의 물리적 특성이나 토기에 잔존한 물질들을 연구하여 선사인들의 생활상을 복원해보는 시도는 상대적으로 부족했던 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서 필자들은 한반도의 주요 선사 고대 유적에서 수습한 토기편에서 추출한 잔존유기물(Organic Residue)에 대한 GC-MS 분석과 안정동위원소 분석 결과를 바탕으로 선사시대 한반도의 토기 사용과 식생활에 관한 새로운 정보를 도출하고자 하였다. 산성을 띠는 한반도 토양의 특성으로 인해 유기물의 출토가 흔치 않은 상황에서 과거의 조리 활동으로 인해 토기 내부에 잔존해 있는 미량 유기물은 옛사람들의 식생활을 어림하는데 중요한 단서가 될 수 있다. 연구 결과, 각 유적의 시대와 입지에 따라 확연히 다른 생계 유형을 확인할 수 있었다. 내륙 깊숙이 자리한 춘천 중도 유적에서는 육상자원의 비중이 높음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 바닷가로의 접근이 가능한 광명 가학동 유적의 경우 해양자원을 소비한 증거를 확보할 수 있었다. 다른 한편으로, 선사시대에 속하는 위의 두 유적과는 시간적인 차이를 보이는 인천 구월동 삼국시대 유적에서는 지금까지 한국 고고학에서 크게 주목받지 못했던 낙농(酪農)의 가능성을 엿볼 수 있었다. 토기의 시간적인 선후관계 이외에 토기 자체에 대한 물리 화학적 연구가 활성화된다면 지금까지 알려지지 않았던 과거 사회에 관한 좀 더 많은 정보들이 도출될 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

  • Khori(高麗) refers to the Chaabog(reindeer) that live on lichens(蘚) on Mt. Soyon(鮮) in which pastures are the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia. Thus, the origin region of the Khori or Koguryo that are the ancestors of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads(馴鹿 遊牧民) can be said to be the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas of North Eurasia and North America. When the pastoral nomads moved on to the great mountain(大山) zone of the Jangbaek(長白) to the Baekdu(白頭) Mountains, they could have been in contact with pastoral farmers or agricultural farmers living there and they became the farmers remaining on agricultural farms. They were the Koryo people, the ancestors of Korea. Staying in one place, they gradually forgot the origin of their reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic history in the Northwest area of Mt. Soyon, the small mountain(小山) zone of the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas. In other words, they lost their identity as reindeer-herding pastoral nomads when they entered the agricultural area after leaving the pastoral area. However, since their basic genes had already formed when they lived on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia, it is possible to study their pastoral nomadic history focusing on 'the minority living in the broad area(廣域少數)', by utilizing highly advanced biotechnological science and focusing on genes and information technology innovation, and removing various past hindrances in research. Therefore, it is not so difficult to restore the reindeerherding pastoral nomadic history of the Koguryo(高句麗) people and secure their pastoral nomadic identity, of which the first steps have already been taken into their historical stages. The Eurasian continent and the Korean peninsula, especially the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the Korean peninsula have been closely related to each other ecologically and historically. They can never be a separate space at all. The Eurasian continent lies horizontally east to west and thus, the continent forms an isothermal zone. Also, since the time of producing their own foods, it was relatively easy for people with their technology to move to other places owing to the pastoral nomadic characteristic of mobility. Unlike the Chungyen(中原) region, western Asia and the regions covering the Siberia-Manchu-Korean peninsula where food production revolution was first made were connected to the Mongolian lichens route(蘚苔之路: Ni, ukinii jam) and steppe roads. Although the ecological conditions of nature have changed a bit throughout a long history, it was natural for the many tribes in North Asia living on the largest Steppe-Taiga-Tundra area in the world to have believed 'the legends related to animals in relation to their founders and ancestors(獸祖傳說)'. Assuming that Siberian tigers and the tigers living on Mt. Baekdu were connected ecologically and genetically because of the ecological characteristics of the animals, and their migration from plateau to plateau, we would suspect that the Chosun(朝鮮) tribe living on Mt. Baekdu were ethnically and culturally more closely connected to the farther removed Ural-Altai tribes that lived on the cold and dry plateau region than to the Han(i14;) tribe who lived in Chungyen(中原) that was close to Mt. Baekdu. More evidence is the structure of the Korean language which has the form of 'Subject + Object + Verb', which is assumed to have originated from the speedy lifestyle of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads. The structure is quite different from that of the Han(漢) language, which is based on agricultural life. Also, it is natural for reindeer riding reindeerherding pastoral nomads or horse-riding sheep-herding pastoral nomads(騎馬, 羊遊牧民) to have held military and political power over the region and eventually to have established an ancient pastoral nomadic empire in the process of their conquest of agricultural regions. The stages for founding global empires in the history of mankind maybe largely divided into two, in terms of ecological conditions and occupations. They are the steppes and the oceans. Of course, the steppe-based empires were established based on the skills to deal with horses and the ability to shoot arrows while riding horses, along with the use of iron ware in the 8th century BC. The steppe-based empires became the foundation for an oceanic empire, which could have been established by the use of warships and warship guns since the 15th Century. Based on those facts, we know that Chosun, Puyo(夫餘), and Koguryo are the products of a developmental process of pastoral nomadic empires on the steppes. Maybe we can easily find the pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo more than we expected when we trace the origins and history of the Korean tribe living in the pastures located in the northwest area of Mt. Jangbaek by focusing on pastoral nomadic mobility and organization just as we have investigated the historic origins of Anglo-Saxons in America by focusing on the times before the 15th Century. In the process, we should keep in mind that English culture originated from the Industrial Revolution and was directly delivered to the American continent, although America was far from England and was not an intermediate point on long sojourns either. Further, American culture came back to England in a more advanced form later. The most important thing currently to be resolved is to cause Koreans to look back on their own history in a freer way of thinking and with diverse, profound, and sharp insight, taking away the old and existing conventional recognition that is entangled with complicated interests with Korean people and other countries. The meanings of Chosun, Khori, and Solongos have been interpreted arbitrarily without any historic evidence by the scholars who followed conventional tradition of fixed-minded aristocrats in an agricultural society. If the Siberian cultural properties of the stone age, the earthenware age, the bronze age, and the iron age are analyzed in such a way, archaeological discovery will never be able to contribute to the restoration of the Koguryo's pastoral nomadic identity. One should transcend the errors that tend to interpret the cultural properties discovered in the pastoral nomadic regions as not being differentiated from those of agricultural regions and just interpret them altogether from the agricultural point of view. A more careful intention is required in the interpretation of cultural properties of ancient Korean empires that seem to have been formed due to mutual interactions of pastoral nomadic and agricultural cultures. Also, it is required that the conventional recognition chain of 'reverse-genes' be severed, which has placed more weight on agricultural properties than pastoral nomadic ones, since their settlement on agricultural farms was made after the establishment of their ancient pastoral nomadic empires. There is no reason at all to place priority on stoneware, earthenware, bronze ware, and iron ware than on wooden ware(木器) and other ware which were made of animal skins(皮器), bones and horns(骨角器), in analyzing the history in the regions of reindeer or sheep pastures. Reading ancient Korean history from the perspective of pastoral nomadic history, one feels strongly the instinctive emotions to return to the natural 'mother place'. The reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo people that has been accumulated in volumes in their genes and hidden deep inside and have interacted organically could be reborn with Burqanism(Burqan refers to 不咸 in Chinese), which was their religion by birth and symbolized as the red willow(紅柳=不咸). The mother place of the Koguryo's people is the endless vast green pastures of North Eurasia and North America, where we anticipated the development of Korean livestock farming following the inherent properties in the genes of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads with Korean ancestors. We anticipate that the place would be the core resource that could contribute to the development of life of living creatures following the inherent properties of their genes and biotechnological factors. In other words, biotechnology used for a search for clues on the well-being of humans could be the fruit brought by Burqanism of the Koguryo people and the fruit of the globalization of Korean livestock farming. It is the Chosun farmer in China come from the vast nomadic reindeer pastures of North Eurasia that resolved the food problem of a billion Chinese people with lowland paddy rice seeds (水稻) by transforming Heilongjiang Province(黑龍江省) into an oceanic lowland paddy rice field(水田). Even Mao Tse-tung(毛擇東) could not resolve the food problem by his revolution campaigns for tens of years. Today is the very time that requires the development of special livestock farming following the inherent properties of the ancient Korean reindeer-herding pastoral nomads that respected the dignity of life on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the America continent. I suggest that research should be started from the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe in East Mongolia that was the homeland of Hanwoo(韓牛) and the central horse-herding steppe place(牧馬場) of Chingis Khan's Mongolia. The Dariganga Steppe is awash with an affluent natural environment for pastoral nomadic living however, the quality of life of the pastoral nomads there is still low. I suggest we Koreans, the descendents of the Koguryo, should take our first steps for our livestock farming business project and develop the Northern nomadic pastures, here at the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe, which is the Mongolian core place of state-of-the-art technology for military weapons.
