On-site briefing session on the 7th and academic discussion session on the 8th
The settlement patterns of the 3rd century, during the Saroguk period, were first confirmed during an excavation investigation in the Wolseong A district in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk.
The Gyeongju National Institute of Cultural Heritage of the National Heritage Administration announced on the 2nd that it will hold an on-site briefing session to reveal the results of the excavation to the public at 2 p.m. on the 7th and an academic discussion session at the Gyeongju Hilton Hotel at 10 a.m. on the 8th.
At the on-site briefing session, we will look at the appearance of the village during the Saroguk period, before Wolseong was converted into a royal castle.
The open area is located on the southwestern edge of Wolseong, and is a landform where a layer of sand was deposited on soft ground adjacent to Namcheon Stream.
Through excavation, it was revealed that fill work to a height of nearly 1.5m was carried out in the early to mid-3rd century to create a colony on this vulnerable land.
What is noteworthy is that the embankment work, which required enormous manpower and materials, preceded the construction of the walls by about 100 years.
Remains showing traces of rituals were also identified at the entrance to the village.
The remains were made of wooden pillars and were a circular structure with a diameter of about 6 m. They were discarded as a ritual of finishing the fire.
Inside the remains, 15 pieces of pottery were discovered in pairs of 2 to 3 pieces of each type. Traces of mahjak material coated with yellow pigment were confirmed on the pottery.
Circumstances in which a dog was offered as a ritual sacrifice were also confirmed, which is noteworthy as it is unprecedented in a similar period.
Anyone can freely participate in the on-site briefing sessions and academic discussions.
