New Perspectives in the Study of Production and Exchange in Korean Archaeology
Abstract
This paper focuses on the significance of production and exchange in Korean archaeology. While material culture in Korean archaeology has mainly been used as a means of designing temporal and spatial frameworks, new perspectives adopted in the research of production processes, production organization, and exchange contain great archaeological potential. Through recent excavations of production sites and pioneering studies of archaeological provenance, the study of production and exchange in Korean archaeology has begun to take place. This paper therefore presents, first, key issues concerning technology, production, and exchange in archaeological research. Second, key developments which have taken place in Korean archaeology regarding the study of production and exchange are examined, and new archaeological discoveries relevant to these issues are introduced. Finally, it is stressed that through the adoption of appropriate methods, the new perspectives examined in this paper can help archaeologists better understand the communities who manufactured, exchanged, and consumed material culture in ancient Korea.
