'Gawaji 1', an early maturing and low amylose content rice variety adaptable to double cropping system with barley as later winter crop., was developed by the crop breeding team of Crop Research Division, GARES, Hwaseong, Korea in 2016. 'Gawaji 1' was derived from a cross between 'Baegjinju' and 'Sangmibyeo' in 2004. This variety had heading date of August 4 in Gyeonggi Province. It had a semi-elect plant type and resistance to lodging with strong culm. Its culm length was 67 cm. This variety had 15 tillers per hill and 104 spikelets per panicle. It was medium grain variety showing 1,000 grain weight of brown rice of 19.3g. Its protein contents of milled rice was 8.2% which was lower than 'Baegjinju'. Its milling ratio was 75.5% which was higher than 'Baegjinju'. The yield of milled rice was 5.0 MT/ha under the ordinary culture of the local adaptability test in 3 areas of Gyeonggi Province for three years. 'Gawaji1' is highly adaptable to Gyeonggi Province, especially to northern region of Han River.

In order to clarify the depositional environment and sea-level change at Ilsan area including Gawaji and Saemal valley plains, which is located at the right side in downstream of the Han River, boring data, radiocabon dating and diatom analysis were comprehensively investigated. As a result, the palaeogeographies fo this area altered by the transgressions and regressions after 7,000 y. BP could be restored. The high tide sea-level(mean high water level of spring tide) was arrived ca. 7,000y. BP at the valley plain and risen to ca. 5.5m at ca. 5000y. BP. Since then, the sea-level was kept up the same level to ca. 3,200 BP. The descended sea-level to ca. 2,300 BP was risen up to ca. 5.8m in ca. 1,800 y. BP. It is presumed that such a sea-level change as well as the different sediments in quantity supplied from the river basin of the valley plain could be effected to change diversely the depositional environment of the study area and eventually to the prehistoric human life.
