  • Ancient cultural heritage made up of wood and organic fibers have been easily disintegrated or decomposed by various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Here, we demonstrate the effectiveness of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) system to sterilize the microorganisms in tangible cultural heritage. We collected several specimens from the surface of ancient documents and wooden artifacts. Finally, two bacteria and two fungi were prepared and sterilized using the APPJ treatment. The APPJ system is beneficial to its simple apparatus, quick operation time, and cost-effectiveness. Bacteria were almost sterilized within only 1 min treatment using 15 % O2 and applied bias voltage of 100 V. In case of the fungi, sterilization rate reached over 83 % but difficult to reach over 90 % even 10 min treatment. According to the plasma diagnostics using optical emission spectroscopy, it was found that the reactive oxygen species such as OH groups are critical for sterilization of microorganisms. Although further efforts should be performed, we believe that efficient sterilization could be realized by the simple, quick, and portable APPJ treatment system.

  • 본 연구는 '고도 이미지 찾기 사업' 중 가로경관개선 사업의 하나인 담장에 대한 이론과 담장 디자인 선행 연구를 통하여 고도에서의 담장에 어울리는 담장 정비 방향을 제언하고자 한다. 연구방법은 선행 연구를 유목화하고, 담장 디자인 이론을 고찰한 후, 고도 지정 지구의 의의와 '고도 이미지 찾기 사업'의 현황을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 사례 대상지를 선정하여 고도담장정비 사례 현황과 문제점을 파악하고 개선 방안을 여러 특성을 비교하여 분석하였다. 담장의 선행 연구는 담장의 성격 분석, 담장 디자인 원리 응용, 담장 구조·색채와 형태 및 응용, 현대적 재해석, 궁궐 담장, 주택·사찰·마을의 담장 등 6개 항목으로 유목화되었다. 담장은 '고도 이미지 찾기 사업' 중 가로경관개선 사업에 해당하며 시지각적 인지도가 내부 건축물보다 선경험으로 제공되는 특성이 있다. 고도담장정비 사례 대상지는 고도별 특별보존지구와 보존육성지구의 구성 분포 비율을 기준으로 무령왕릉과 인접한 공주시 송산리길 주변 마을을 선정하였다. 공주시 송산리길 주변 마을의 '고도 이미지 찾기 사업'은 한옥 신축으로 시작되었다. 그러나 담장 정비는 한옥 신축과 동시에 시행된 게 아니었다. 가로변 건축물 외관 정비 사업으로 추후에 지원과 정비가 이루어진 것이다. 한옥과 담장이 동시에 설계되어 심의 후 신축되었다면 한옥의 규모 및 디자인과 조화를 이루는 담장이 되었을 것이지만 서로 기간을 두고 신청, 설계, 시공되었기에 한옥의 처마와 담장이 대지 경계선에 거의 맞닿아 있는 결과를 초래하였다. 공간적으로 가깝고 높은 한옥 본채와 담장의 배치는 답답하게 닫혀 있는 구조물로 인식된다. 송산리길의 담장 디자인은 고도의 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 형태와 색상과 재료로 차분하고 은은하며 안온한 분위기를 자아내야 하는데, 날카롭고 옹색하여 난처한 지경에 놓여 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하려면 담장 설계 디자인을 먼저 고려한 후, 한옥 본채 설계 디자인을 후순위로 진행하는 방안의 도입도 합리적 대안이 될 수 있다. 사례 대상지인 공주시 송산리길 담장 지원 사업의 문제 요인은 전통 담장이 가져야 할 미적 요건에 상당히 부족하다. 첫째, 담장의 자연 재료 선정 및 활용에서 미적 의식이 실종되었다는 것이다. 둘째, 디자인 완성도와 조화의 부재이다. 조사 대상지인 공주시 송산리길 고도담장정비의 문제 요인을 분석한 개선 방향은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한옥 설계와 담장·대문 시공 설계 도면을 함께 심의해야 한다. 둘째, 한옥 담장 디자인의 자연석 돌담 일변도를 재검토 진단하여야 한다. 셋째, 계획·설계 과정에 주민과 전문가의 의견을 조정하는 상시 체계를 가동해야 한다. 넷째, 한옥의 개별성을 집단화하여 지역의 정체성을 대표하는 문화 자산으로 가치를 높여야 한다.

  • This study investigates prehistoric human subsistence and pottery use on the Korean peninsula through the organic residue analysis of archaeological potsherds. Ancient human subsistence is one of the core topics in Korean archaeology. However, due to the high acidity of sediments, which prevents the long-term preservation of organic remains, archaeologists have been short of critical information on how these early prehistoric dwellers lived. Ceramic vessels can contain well-preserved lipids originating from past culinary practices. For a better understanding of human subsistence on the prehistoric Korean peninsula, food-processing behaviors were reconstructed by analyzing ancient lipids extracted from a pottery matrix. The potsherd samples used in the analysis in this paper were collected from major prehistoric habitation sites. The results show that subsistence strategies differed according to both location and time period and reveal how organic residue analysis can contribute to a better understanding of prehistoric human subsistence strategies.

  • Although research conducted in East Asia has uncovered parasite eggs from ancient toilets or cesspits, data accumulated to date needs to be supplemented by more archaeoparasitological studies. We examined a total of 21 soil samples from a toilet-like structure at the Hwajisan site, a Baekje-period royal villa, in present-day Korea. At least 4 species of helminth eggs, i.e., Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides, Clonorchis sinensis, and Trichuris sp. (or Trichuris vulpis) were detected in 3 sediment samples of the structure that was likely a toilet used by Baekje nobles. The eggs of T. trichiura were found in all 3 samples (no. 1, 4, and 5); and A. lumbricoides eggs were detected in 2 samples (no. 4 and 5). C. sinensis and T. vulpis-like eggs were found in no. 5 sample. From the findings of this study, we can suppose that the soil-transmitted helminths were prevalent in ancient Korean people, including the nobles of Baekje Kingdom during the 5th to 7th century.

  • Built in the 6th and 7th centuries during the Baekje period, the Buyeo Royal Tombs consist of seven tombs, including Tomb No. 1, which contains murals. To preserve Tomb No. 1 from damage caused by microorganisms, periodic microbial-distribution investigations are conducted. Following such investigations in August 2016, June 2018, and November 2019, the microbes were classified according to the investigation period, location of collection, and space. This study compares and analyzes the results. The concentration of airborne microorganisms in Tomb No. 1 and the number of microbial genera identified in each space of the tomb decreased as proximity to the main room with murals diminished. During the investigation period, the genera Bacillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Streptomyces were commonly identified on Tomb No. 1. The microorganisms collected from the main room walls were mostly isolated from the east and west walls where the genera Bacillus, Cupriavidus, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, and Streptomyces were commonly identified in three or more walls. In particular, the genus Streptomyces is a dangerous strain capable of damaging murals by penetrating into and discoloring the pigments on them. The data generated from this study may be useful for future research on microbial distribution in other domestic mural tombs and those located in North Korea and abroad.
