Timing of terrace formation is a key information for understanding the evolution of fluvial systems. In particular, dating strath terrace (i.e. timing of terrace abandonment) is more difficult than depositional terrace that is conventionally constrained by radiocarbon, OSL and other dating methods targeting samples within terrace deposit. Surface exposure dating utilizing cosmogenic ¹⁰Be provides more reliability because it can be applied directly to the surface of a fluvial terrace. Thus, this method has been increasingly used for alluvial deposits. As well as other geomorphic surfaces over the last decades. Some inherent conditions, however, such as post-depositional ¹⁰Be concentration (i.e. inheritance), surface erosion rate, and density change challenge the application of cosmogenic ¹⁰Be to depositional terrace surface against simple bedrock surface. Here we present the first application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating to a thin-gravel covered strath terrace in Korea. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) helped us in better constraining the timing of abandonment of the strath terrace, since which its surface stochastically denuded with time, causing unexpected change of ¹⁰Be production with depth. The age of the strath terrace estimated by MCS was 109 ka, ~4% older than the one (104 ka) calculated by simple depth profile dating, which yielded the best-fit surface erosion rate of 2.1 mm/ka. Our study demonstrates that the application of ¹⁰Be depth profile dating of strath terrace using MCS is more robust and reliable because it considers post-depositional change of initial conditions such as erosion rate.

지난 ~30년 동안 가속기질량분석기와 비활성기체질량분석기 기술의 진보와 함께, 우주선유발 동위원소도 지표면의 연대측정 분야에 광범위하게 적용되어 왔다. 우주선유발 동위원소를 이용한 세부적인 연대측정법으로는 단순노출연대측정, 수직단면연대측정, 매몰연대측정 등이 있어, 다양한 노출(또는 퇴적) 환경에 따라, 다른 접근법이 요구된다. 국내에 적용 가능한 대상으로는, 하안단구, 해안단구, 선상지, 화산지형, 구조지형(단층애), 다양한 암설지형(테일러스, 암괴류 등), 호안 또는 해안 파식대 그리고, 제3기의 퇴적분지층과 고고학유물층에도 적용이 가능하다. 아울러, 기존의 석영이 풍부한 화강암과 변성암 중심에서, 최근에는 석회암과 화산암에도 적용가능하게 되었다.

본 연구는 국내 대표 소셜 데이팅 애플리케이션인 이음과 정오의 데이트를 사용자 관점에서 비교 분석하고, 사용자 만족도 향상을 위한 개선 방향을 제안하는데, 그 목적이 있다. 1차로 문헌 연구를 통해 현재 제공되고 있는 서비스의 유형 분석과 이론적 배경을 고찰하고, 서비스 현황에 대해 비교 분석하였다. 2차로 피터 모빌(Peter Morville)의 허니콤 모델(Honey comb model)을 6가지 사용성 원칙으로 재구성하여 설문을 설계한 뒤 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 이음의 경우 사용자의 관심사나 취미에 기초한 프로필을 추가로 도입하여 매칭의 정확도 개선이 필요하였다. 정오의 데이트 경우 사용자 스스로가 체계적으로 관리 할 수 있는 카드 분류 서비스 개발의 필요성이 발견되었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 앞으로 소셜 데이팅 애플리케이션 사용자 경험 개선 방안을 위한 참고 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것을 기대하며, 이후 진행될 다른 분야의 사용자 경험 연구에도 도움이 되기를 바란다.

The Kunang cave paleolithic site is located at Tanyang [$N37^{\circ}2'$, $128^{\circ}21'E$], Chungbuk Province, which is in the Central part of the Korean peninsula. The cave is developed at 312 amsl in a karstic mountainous area. The South Han River flows across this region and other caves can also be found near the river. The site was discovered in 1986 and excavated 3 times by the Chungbuk National University Museum until now. The cave was wellpreserved from modem human activities until the first discovery. The full length of the cave is estimated to be ca. 140 m. However, a spacious part up to 11 m from the entrance has been excavated. Eight lithological units are divided over the vertical profile at a depth of 5 m. Each unit is deposited in ascending order as follow: mud layer (Unit 9), lower complex (Unit 8) which is composed of angular blocks and fragments with a muddy matrix, lower travertine layer (Unit 7； flowstone), middle complex (Unit 6; cultural layer) which is composed of fragments with a muddy matrix, middle travertine layer (Unit 5； flowstone), yellowish muddy layer (Unit 4), upper complex (Unit 3； cultural layer) which has a similar composition to Unit 8. the upper travertine layer (Unit 2； flowstone), and finally surface soil layer (Unit 1). The most abundant vestiges in the cultural layers are the animal bones. They are small fractured pieces and mostly less than 3 cm in length. About 3,800 bone pieces from 25 animal species have been collected so far, 90 percent of them belonging to young deers. Previous archaeological study of these bone pieces shows thatprehistoric people occupied the cavenot for permanent dwelling but for temporary shelter during their seasonal hunting activity. More extensive studies of these bones together with pollen analysis are in progress to reconstruct the paleoenvironment of this cave. Only a single date (12,500 BP) obtained from a U-Th measurement of the upper travertine layer was previously available. In spite of the importance of the cave stratigraphy, there was no detail chronological investigation to establish the depositional process of the cultural layers and to understand the periodic structure of the cave strata, alternating travertine floor and complex layers. We have measured five 14C age dating (38900+/-1000, 36400+/-900, 40600+/-1600, more than 51000 and 52000 14C BP) using Seoul National University 14C AMS facility, conducted systematic process of the collagen extraction from bone fragments samples. From the result, we estimate that sedimentation rate of the cave earth is constant, and that the travertine layers, Unit 2 and Unit 3, was formed during MIS 5a(ca. 80 kBP) and MIS 5c (ca. 100 kBP) respectively. The Kunang Cave site is located at Yochonli of the region of Danyang in the mid-eastern part of Korea. This region is compased of limestones in which many caves were found and the Nam-han river flows meanderingly. The excavations were carried out three times in 1986, 1988, and 1998.
