Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze radiocarbon dating, using wiggle match, of a wooden board from Yeongheung-do shipwreck excavated from Yeongheung-do in Incheon Ongjingun. The result of wiggle matching for 5 decennial tree-ring block samples of the hull bottom board produced ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ radiocarbon date (95.4% confidence interval) as A.D. 710~730 or A.D. 750~774. It indicated that the Yeongheung-do shipwreck belonged to the early or middle of the 8th century. Radiocarbon dating results confirmed the date speculated by archaeologists according to ship structure and pottery style.

이 연구의 목적은 인천 옹진군 영흥도에서 발굴된 영흥도선 목부재 방사성탄소연대 분석을 통해 고선박의 연대를 규명하는 것이다. 중앙저판에서 10년 간격으로 채취된 5개의 연륜 블록에 대한 방사성탄소연대를 위글매치한 결과, 최외각 연륜의 ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ 연대(95.4% 신뢰구간)에서 A.D. 710~730년 또는 A.D. 750~774년으로 산출되어 이 고선박이 8세기 초반 또는 중반에 제작된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연대는 선박의 구조와 도기의 양식으로 추론된 고고학적 편년과 일치되는 결과이다.
