  • Bottle gourd, Lagenaria siceraria, is one of the oldest cultivated plants. To bigin with, its fruit was used as a complete liquid bottle or container. It was a very widespread cultivated plant in prehistoric times, for example (there) is a report from Peru as early as between 13,000 B.C and 11,000 B.C. The dug-out finds in Japan proved to be about 95,000 years old according to the $^{14}$ C analysis. The bottle grourd was the most important plant before the invention of pottery in many areas of Asia, New Guinea, Polynesia, America, and Africa. I would like to suggest that there should be “The Bottle Gourd Age” prior to the Pottery Age.(중략)

  • The rising of east-north economic bloc is notable in world economy due to the rapidly growth of china economy. The China's economic standing is gradually higher and higher because the joining of the WTO at 2001, development of the exterior open-door policy and the expansion of the trade between chain and several nations. Since Korea and China normalized diplomatic ties in 1992, the two have made remarkable progress in bilateral relations in the fields of economy and diplomacy in particular. The amount of Korea's trade with China has increased by over 20% a year on the average because of the development of the economic cooperation of Korea and China. That is to say, China was sixth trade partner by the end of 1993, based on the amount of trade. But China became third partner at 1993, second partner at 2003 and first partner at the first half of 2004, based on the amount of trade. Korea can not trade with China from the Korea's port opening period to Cold War period after second world war. But historically, the two countries have shared a active and long history of trade relations from the ancient times up to now. This is because two countries get near geographically and two countries have a implication of history and culture. Not only had Korea trade with China at prehistoric age, but also at BC 7. We knew that Korea had traded with China very actively at ancient times through the Paekje(Korea's ancient country) people's village at Santung province and Changbogo's trade works. Korea-china trade relation has played an important role for the development of world economy. Therefor, based on reviewing the korea-china trade, I study the historical meaning of the trade at the region of east-north asia.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the pattern and the meaning of textiles, and decorative techniques of ikat weaving and dyeing in Indonesia. The textile design also analyzes by examining the method of ikat techniques such as warp ikat, weft ikat and double ikat, and by classifying the style of regions. The most common motifs are geometric designs of spirals, meanders, straight lines, triangles, and circles which are influenced by outside world. Although these motifs or symbols have been evident since prehistoric times, their design and meaning have been continually reinterpreted as changes in the ceremonies and rituals. While motifs such as reptiles, birds, and human figures, depicted in spiral, hooked and rhomb configurations, have been identified among the most resilient features of Indonesian textile design, new meanings have been added to these ancient forms, and designs have been transformed and reinterpreted to suit local conceptions. Since textiles are a visual expression of Indcufsian life, textiles place the individual symbolically within social milieu, identifying rank, family, locality and religious affiliations. Textiles represent a link between the human and the spiritual realm, and a vehicle for the display of sacred and secular potency Ikat textiles play to embody special transforming powers and sacred mediating qualities, providing protection and evoking life-enriching forces for individuals or social group.

  • Goguryo is the ancient dynasty which established the system of ancient state earlier than Baekje and Sila, and was a strong political and military power. Unlike the rock carving works of prehistoric times, mural paintings composed of line and color tones in tombs are characterized more by its social aspect and symbolism as a serious form of art than other cultural heritage of Goguryo. In response to that, this study analyzed the dress and ornaments of women found in Anak No. 3 ancient tomb, Susan-ri ancient tomb, Ssangyeongchong, which are the ancient tombs in Pyeongyang from 4th century to 5th century, have relatively more ancient tombs than any other places and preserved the mural paintings well, by using the plate, slide, literature and data related to relics in order to figure out the characteristics of women's dress and ornament in Goguryo, and the lifestyle and social aspect of Goguryo.

  • Nana was an important patron deity in the Kušan Empire and the most important deity worshipped by Emperor Kaniška (c. 127-150 CE). She was the head of the royal dynastic pantheon at this time. The cult of Nana may already have existed in Central Asia prior to the arrival of Indo-Iranians in the region, since she appears on a BMAC seal dating to the early second millennium BCE. Similarly, her cult in Bactria may pre-date her appearance in the Kušan pantheon by over two millennia. The spread of Nana's cult over such vast distances vividly illustrates the cultural connections (presumably stemming mostly from trade) that existed from prehistoric times linking the Mediterranean world to that of Central Asia and beyond, with the Iranian plateau at its center. The prevalence of Sogdian coins bearing Nana's name suggests that she was also the principal deity of Sogdiana. In Bactria, the goddess Ardoxšo (Avestan Aši vaŋvhī) was also worshipped by Kušāns and appeared on their coins. Nana, who was associated with war, fertility, wisdom, and water, was also equated with the Iranian goddesses Anāhitā, Aši, and Ārmaiti. The cult of Nana-Ārmaiti was widespread throughout eastern Iran.

  • Wherever Buddhism has flourished, there were stupas in the form of monuments which have their origin in the tumulm of prehistoric times. After the death of Buddha, his body was cremated following the Indian funeral custom. His ashes, which long reserved for the remains of nobles and holymen, were enshrined under such artificial hills of earth and brick. The Stupa was in origin a simple burial-mound. The form of the burial-mound was a symbolical or magic reconstruction of the imagined shape of the sky, like a dome covering the earth. The domical form of the earliest tumuli may have been concious replicas of the shape of the Vedic hut. There are relationships which may have originally existed between the stupa and West Asiatic monuments. Buddhist Stupa originally cosisted of an almost hemispherical tumulus(anda) and an altar-like structure (harmika) on its top, surmounted by one or several superimposed honorific umbrellas (hti, catta). This hemispherical form is associated with centralisation, lunar worship, mother earth, and Siva. Anda means a symbol of latent creative power, the harmika symbolizes the sanctuary enthroned aboved the world. The honorific umbrella, as an abstract imitation of the shade-giving tree is one of the chief solar symbols and that of enlightenment.

  • Pinus species are native to the Northern Hemisphere and some parts of the tropics to temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere. They were used as food and medicine in prehistoric times. Massonianoside B is a compound found in pine trees and possesses antioxidant activity. In order to determine the presence and content of this compound in Pinus species, three different parts (needles, branches, and bark) of three Pinus species were extracted and investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography with a gradient elution system along with a reverse-phase INNO column with photodiode array detector was employed. Results showed that the branches of the three Pinus species had higher massonianoside B content (5.502 to 9.751 mg/g DW) than either the needles or bark. Furthermore, among the three species, P. rigida × P. taeda had the highest concentration of total massonianoside B (11.557 mg/g DW). These findings thus provide evidence of biological activity in Pinus species and establish a foundation for further research.

  • 차령산맥 남북의 7개 유적에서 신석기시대 빗살무늬 토기부터 조선시대 백자까지 시대적으로 일부 시료를 선별하여 물리화학적 및 광물학적 정량분석을 통해 고대 세라믹의 제작기술과 특성을 해석하였다. 연구대상 선사시대 토기는 연질에 테쌓기한 흔적이 나타나며, 삼국시대 토기는 연질과 경질이 공존하나 자비와 저장용기는 모두 테쌓기한 반면 배식기는 물레성형하였다. 태토의 정선도가 높은 삼국시대 이후 토기와 달리 신석기 및 청동기시대 토기는 사질태토에 높은 광물 함량을 보이며, 태토보다 큰 비짐이 다량 확인된다. 청자와 백자 기질에서는 일차광물이 거의 나타나지 않으나 고온생성 광물의 함량이 높게 동정되었다. 분석시료들은 시기에 관계없이 유적에 따라 주성분 및 미량원소에 약간의 차이가 나타났다. 지구화학적 거동특성도 거의 동일하여 태토의 기본적 성질은 유사한 것을 지시한다. 작열감량은 0.01~12.59wt.% 범위를 보여 편차가 크나, 선사시대에서 삼국시대로 가며 급격히 감소한다. 이들은 소성에 따른 중량감소율과 관련이 있으며, 태토의 소성도와 고온생성 광물의 검출 함량에 따라 5그룹의 추정 소성온도로 분류된다. 신석기시대와 청동기시대 토기는 모두 $750{\sim}850^{\circ}C$ 그룹에 속하고, 삼국시대 토기는 $750{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$의 소성온도 범위에서 다양하게 확인되며, 청자와 백자는 $1,150{\sim}1,250^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 소성된 것으로 나타났다. 제작시기에 따른 태토의 정선도와 소성온도 차이는 제작기술이 발전함에 따라 원료수급과 소성방식이 변화된 결과로 보인다. 그러나 같은 시기에도 제작방법에 차이를 보이기도 하여, 단순히 한 방향으로 진화된 발전보다는 사용 목적과 필요에 따라 활용한 것으로 해석된다.

  • 이 연구에서는 전남 보성 거석리 및 해남 분토리 유적에서 출토된 녹니석제 구슬들을 대상으로 육안적, 광물학적 및 지구화학적 특성과 정량분석을 통해 옥기의 광물종을 규명하고 원광석의 산지를 해석하였다. 연구대상 옥기들은 회청색 환옥 3점, 암록색 관옥 1점 및 흑록색 관옥 1점이며, 공통적으로 세립질의 침주상 및 섬유상 결정으로 이루어져 있다. 이 옥기들은 재질이 부드럽고 강도가 약하며 주로 주상, 판상, 엽편상의 벽개를 갖는 녹니석으로 구성되어 있다. 주성분 원소는 $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, MgO 및 FeO이며 미량의 $K_2O$, CaO 및 Na_2O$를 함유하고 있다. 정량분석 결과를 녹니석의 단종 분류도에 도시할 때, 회청색 옥기와 암록색 옥기는 클리노클로어로, 흑록색 옥기는 클리노클로어와 쉐리단티에의 경계에 속하는 녹니석으로 판명되었다. 녹니석은 재질이 비교적 무르고 부드러워 가공이 용이하고 미려한 색상과 진주광택을 가지고 있어 선사시대로부터 장식용 옥기로 매우 유용하게 이용되었을 것으로 추정된다. 녹니석의 채광대상 원광석은 충남 중서부 일대와 함경남도 이원 일대에서 생산된 것으로 알려져 있으나 지리적으로 거석리 및 분토리 유적과 상당히 먼 거리에 위치해 있다. 한편 녹니석은 열수광상의 모암변질대에서 흔히 생성되는 점토광물로서, 유적지 인근에 분포하는 소규모 열수광상에서 소량 채석되어 공급되었을 가능성이 높다. 이에 대하여는 향후 고고학적 해석과 검토를 통해 원료의 산지추정과 공급, 제작 및 수급과정에 대한 검증이 필요하다.

  • The origin of Korean traditional food's spicy taste dates back to the first telling of the Dangun myth-a story of a tiger and bear who tried to reincarnate themselves in human form by eating garlic and wormwood. For a long time, Koreans have eaten spicy vegetables such as green onion, garlic, ginger, mustard, leeks, corni, cinnamon bark, and Chinese peppers (Zanthoxylum schinfolium) and Zanthoxylum bungeanum. In prehistoric times, spicy vegetables were probably used to eliminate the smell of meat. In the agricultural age, they were used to supplement meals with fresh taste. They were also used as a substitute for salt (salt was very precious and expensive) as well as side dishes for the poor. Spicy vegetables have also been used as a substitute for main dish like medicinal gruel and used to increase the spiciness of soup, and they are usually used as a side dish and with condiments in namul (cooked vegetable dishes), sangchae (salad), ssam (wrapped in greens and garnished with red-pepper paste or other condiments) and Kimchi. In addition, chili pepper was introduced to the Korean Peninsula in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty (mid-15th, 16th century). The soil and climate of the Korean Peninsula are suitable to growing chili pepper, and chili pepper has excellent adaptability and productivity. Accordingly, it is processed to red pepper powder and has become a major part of traditional Korean food along with Chinese pepper. Since the Joseon Dynasty, many kinds of Kimchi made with red pepper powder have been developed, and most Koreans enjoy them these days. The main characteristics of Korean food are spiciness and honest-to-goodness taste.
