Tree-ring chronologies can be used to date historical buildings by matching them with the chronologies of living trees or previously dated samples. Tree-ring dating gives a calendar year to each tree ring and produces the felling dates of logs or woods which had been used for buildings. In Korea, several chronologies of Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc., 'sonamu' in Korean), a major species for the wooden building materials, have been developed and used for dating historical buildings. In this study, Tongmyungjeon Hall of Changkyung Palace in Seoul was dated by tree rings. The present Tongmyungjeon Hall was known to be reconstructed in A.D. 1834 after burned-out in A.D. 1790. We sampled total of 122 wood samples which were replaced during the repair process in 2002-2003. Felling dates of the samples were determined by the dendrochronological crossdating method. Crossdating method employs graphic comparison of the master patterns (ring-width chronologies of known dates) with those of the sample chronologies of unknown dates. Tree-ring dates confirmed that the reconstruction of 1834 utilized second-handed timbers as well as fresh-cut ones. The felling dates of wooden floor frames were mostly A.D. 1913, indicating the 'Ondol' floors were changed to the wooden floors around 1914 when the Japanese rulers brutally destroyed the royal Korean Palaces and transformed palace buildings to their offices or exhibition halls after occupying Korea in 1910. This study proved that tree-ring dating was a useful and accurate method to identify the critical dates for the history of Korean traditional buildings.

Three buildings -Jibokjae, Hyubgildang and Palujung- are connected each other and consist of a library and reception complex for royal kings at Kyungbok Palace in Seoul. Jibokjae and Hyubgildang were known to have been moved from Changdok Palace in A.D. 1891. No construction records have been known for Palujung. In 2004, during repair of three buildings, a dendrochronological analysis was conducted to examine their building histories. We took 67 wood samples for dendrochronological analysis; 20 from Jibokjae, 37 Hyubgildang and 10 Palujung, respectively. The results showed that the felling dates of Jibokjae and Hyubgildang woods were A.D. 1877-1879/1880, indicating original construction of two buildings at early 1880s. Felling dates of Palujung were 1886-1889/1890, those of roof filling timbers 1890 and the connection part between Hyubgildang and Jibokjae 1886, confirming 1891's movement of Hyubgildang and Jibokjae and adding a new building, Palujung.

Tree-ring chronologies can be used to date historical buildings and furniture by matching them with the chronologies of living trees or previously dated samples. Tree-ring dating gives a calender year to each tree ring and produces the felling dates of logs or woods which had been used for buildings. In Korea, several chronologies of Japanese red pine(Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.,'sonamu' in Korean), a major species for the wooden building materials, have been developed and used for dating historical buildings. Daejojeon of Changduck Palace is known to be reconstructed in A.D. 1920 after burned-out in A.D. 1917. Instead of new woods, Daejojeon was reconstructed by reusing the woods of Kyotaejeon in Kyungbok Palace. We sampled total of 26 wood samples which were replaced during the repair process of Daejojeon in 1995. Felling dates of the samples were determined by the dendrochronological crossdating method. Crossdating method employs graphic comparison of the master patterns (ring-width plots of living trees or known dates) with those of the sample chronologies of unknown dates. The cutting dates of Daejojeon woods were divided in two groups. One was the late 1860s and the other 1880s. The results confirmed that Kyotaejeon was reconstruced first in the A.D 1860s and then in late 1880s after burning out in 1876.

본 연구에서는 문경 조령 주흘관(제 1관문) 목부재에 대해 수종과 연륜연대분석을 진행하여 재질과 건축역사를 조사하고자 하였다. 주흘관 목부재(84점)의 수종은 소나무류 76점, 잣나무류 5점, 전나무속 3점으로 확인되었다. 연륜연대분석은 코어링법을 이용하여 시료를 채취하였으며, TSAP프로그램으로 크로스데이팅을 하였다. 연륜연대분석 결과, 소나무류 목부재 59점에 대한 최외각 연도는 1708년 여름-1709년 늦가을, 1792년 여름-1794년 초봄, 1838년 늦가을-1840년 초봄, 1867년과 1872년 초봄-늦가을로 총 4개의 벌채시기가 확인되었다. 이러한 벌채시기들은 조선왕족실록, 주흘관중수기, 주흘관 성벽 각기의 수리기록과 일치한 것을 확인하였다. 일부 부재들은 수리기록과 벌채시기간의 약 10년 정도 차이가 나타나 당시 벌채한 목재를 저장하여 사용한 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to date wooden coffins excavated from graves in Shinnae-dong, Seoul, South Korea, using dendrochronology. The species of woods used to make the coffins were identified as Pinus densiflora S. et Z., one of the major conifers in Korea. Of 12 graves, 10 were successfully dated using various red-pine chronologies of South Korea. Due to the absence of the last-formed tree ring before felling, the number of sapwood rings, used to obtain likely cutting dates, had to be estimated. The terminus post quem for two coffins without plaster frames were AD 1548 and AD 1571, respectively. Eight coffins with plaster frames yielded estimated dates from AD 1664 to AD 1799. The tree-ring dates indicated that the coffins with plaster frames in Shinnae-dong were constructed approximately 100 years later than those without plaster frames.

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.

Tree-ring dating can be used to date scientifically prehistoric timbers, historical buildings or woodcrafts. It can give a calendar year to each tree ing and produces the felling dates of logs or wood panels. In this study, we applied tree-ring dating to three rice chests, whose dates of manufacturing are unknown. According to the shape of frame, we assumed that they should be made in Cholla Province. The last rings of the woods of three rice chests were dated A.D. 1830, A.D. 1870 and A.D. 1901, respectively. Tree-ring patterns indicated that two of them were collected from Kangwon province.

Tree-ring dating can be used to date scientifically prehistoric timbers, historical buildings or woodcrafts. It gives a calendar year to each tree ring and produces the felling dates of logs or wood panels. In this study, we applied tree-ring dating to a medicine cabinet in Seoul Museum of History. We obtained tree-ring data from radial or cross section by taking photographs with a digital camera. The cabinet were dated A.D. 1821 to the last ring. It was about 50 year older than the previous medicine cabinets. Tree-ring patterns indicated that the origin of woods for the cabinet would be near Sorak mountains.

연륜연대측정법을 사용하여 전통약장 2점에 대해 제작연대를 밝혀 편년을 정립하고 시대 변천에 따른 약장의 형태적 차이점을 논하고자 하였다. 연륜연대측정법은 목재 내의 연륜을 측정하여 1년의 오차도 없는 정확한 절대연도를 부여함으로써 제작연대를 알아내는 것이다. 경기도산으로 달려진 경기도박물관소장 약장 1점과 덕성여대박물관소장 약장 1점에 대한 연륜분석 결과, 마지막 연륜의 연도가 1884년과 1874년으로 각각 측정되었다. 시기는 거의 같게 나타났으나 형태, 구조, 목재 재질 등의 상이함이 컸다. 이는 시대적인 차이가 아니라 제작자와 사용자의 취향, 안목, 재력 등이 제작에 반영된 결과로 보인다. 한편, 경기도 약장으로 분류된 것이지만 연륜패턴 일치도 분석결과 목재의 산지는 강원도 설악산과 강릉지역으로 나타나 경기 지방의 가구제작에 강원도 목재가 사용되었음을 알 수 있었다.
