New Perspectives in Korean Funerary Archaeology
Abstract
Korean funerary archaeology in the last decade has witnessed the emergence of new interpretative approaches and methodological applications to burial contexts. This paper will consider some of the new and more notable research directions in Korean funerary studies. They include the understanding of burial contexts as a place of ritual practice, the interpretation of burials as a means of social reproduction, and the use of new units of analysis in the study of burial contexts. It is suggested that these new research trends also provide insight into the more general theoretical and methodological developments taking place within Korean archaeology, which include new perceptions of society and the archaeological record, as well as a diversification of units of analysis.
