  • In total, 29 $^{14}C$ dates were obtained from Paleolithic sites in the Korean peninsula. If not the dates from the Sorori peat layers, the number will be less than 20. Low boundary of Upper Paleolithic could be estimated by some early of the dates from Blade stone industries. Couple of $^{14}C$ dates indicate that beginning of Upper Paleolithic industries could approach to 40 K BP, but it is premature to establish fine chronology of Upper Paleolithic. Some of the $^{14}C$ dates of microlithic industries probably represent too earlier age than generally thought. Tentatively, the beginning of microlithic industries may go back to an age of slightly older than 20 K BP, as indicated in Janghungri, Sokchangni, Noeundong etc. The obtained $^{14}C$ dates at present are very important for construction of Paleolithic chronology. but it is necessary to accumulate for more $^{14}C$ dates in future along with results from other dating techniques and to reconstruct site formation processes for obtaining objective age of stone industries.

  • 전곡리 일대는 화산지형, 단층지형, 구석기 문화연구 등 여러 분야의 학문적 관심이 집중된 지역이다. 본 연구는 박편 분석, 물리화학 광물분석등이 수단을 활용하여 전곡리 용 암대지를 덮고 있는 피복물의 형성과 퇴적 후의 변화과정을 밝히려고 한 것이다, 여기서 다 음과 같은 사실을 밝힐수 있었다. 전곡리 용암대지는 Riss-Wrm 간빙기에는 별로개석되 지 않았다가 Wrm 빙가에 들어와 인근 황해의 해수면이 낮아지면서 개석된 것으로 추정 된다. 그리고 Wrm빙기 전기간에 걸쳐 용암대지에는 건육화된 황해와 인근 하천(한강, 임 진강) 범람원에서 바람에 의해 날려온 미립물질이 약 8m 이상 퇴적되었다. Wrm 빙기후 기에는 이풍적토(Loess)가 여름에도 녹지 않는 결빙층이 발달했을정도의 한랭 습윤했던 기 후의 영향을 받았다, 이로 인해 일련의 크랙(엽상구조를 이루는 수평크랙과 불규칙한 수직 방향크랙)들이 발달했고 풍적 물질의 미시적 조직과 구조도 많이 변화했다. 또한 결빙작용 으로 변형된 구조의 규제를 받으며 gleyzation 이 진전되었다. 단면 관찰에서 회백색 얼룩과 붉은 또는 검붉은 얼룩이 복잡하게 섞여 있는 모습은 바로 이것이 진전된 결과이다, 그간 발굴된 구석기 유물들은 결빙구조 및 gleyzation의 흔적이 잘 나타나는 부의에서 출토되었 다, 이사실은 본 지역의 구석기 인류가 생활했던 시기는 Wrm 빙기에서도 이러한 한랭 기후가 있기 이전이었음을 시사한다.

  • There are many uncertainty to understand the ways in which Paleolithic men hunted animals. But in the meantime, We can identify a part of the hunting activities of the old people through artworks left by the paleolithic people at that time. First is the size of the hunt. In the case of painted artwork, the size of the herd does not exceed 10 people. Therefore, a small group of about 10 people would go out for a hunt, and they could see that the size of the herd varied according to the hunting target. In other words, to catch large and wild beasts like bison, you can see that it consists of nine or seven groups. In order to catch the horse, the same large animal, we can see that six people joined together. On the other hand, a group of two or three people hunting a relatively small, mild animal such as a deer would have been enough. Therefore, the size of the hunting herd was less than 10 people, and the size of the hunting herd seemed to be slightly different for each animal. Second, it is confirmed that these groups have a well-divided role. Because all nine of them were hunted out, they were divided into four small groups, which is likely to imply that the role of each group was different. Third, we can see that most of the weapons of the hunting herds were spears. The production and use of stone tools have been progressively developed, making a small stoner, a small stoneware, and connecting it to the spears, making it more efficient to hunt. This kind of composite wool connecting stone tools and wood would have been the most efficient means of hunting.
