Based on this intention, the existing type of pottery was named 'Sinheung-dong style pottery' based on the representative excavated site. Among the northwestern regions of Gyeonggi-do, the status of the Ganghwa, Gimpo, and Geomdan during the period of Mumun pottery was reviewed. The current status of excavation of each pottery and the examples of residential areas where the pottery was excavated alone were calculated. Through this analysis, Gimpo and Geomdan were identified as Yeoksam-dong type culture areas. Furthermore, it was confirmed that Heunamri pottery was close to being absent in Gimpo.

Ultimately, it can be seen that the unmanned Mumun pottery culture is not simple and that the pottery was used under various possibilities.Read More
