The Sea Level Change and Human Activities at Sejuk-Ri, Ulsan City, Southeastern Coast of Korea during the Early Neolitic Period

The sea level curve and environmental change were reconstructed at Sejuk-ri during the early Neolitic Age, based on the sedimentary facies, the distribution of remains and carbon datings. Before 6,500 years BP, the sea-level experienced one oscillation. The Neolitic men utilized geomorphic environment which formed according to the sea-level change. They might be occupied in gathering, fishing and hunting including whales hunting. The Neolitic men made acom hollows in order to remove tannin. Besides, they remained shell mounds which were formed from 6,500 years BP to around 6,000 years BP. They left the living place about 6,000 years BP because of transgression.
