The pottery stone diposits of the Cheongsong area consist of abundant quartz with clay minerals such as mica/smectite interstratified mineral, tosudite, kaolinite and sericite. The occurrence and mineralogical properties of the clay minerals were investigated by X-ray diffraction method, chemical analysis, DTA and IR. The mineral transformation by hydrothermal alteration was also discussed. Tosudite occurs in the Beopsoo pottery stone deposit, it seem to be Li-beraing tosudite. Mica/smectite interstratified minerals with less than about 20% expandable layers are commonly observed in the pottery stone deposits of the area. The mica/smectite interstratified minerals tend to increase the expandable layers as the progress of alteration. The pottery stones from this area seem to be altered from rhyolite or welded tuff by hydrothermal solution.

The clay minerals such as sericite, pyrophyllite, chlorite and smectite abundantly occur in the Bobae pottery stone mine in Pusan. In this study, the processes which are responsible for the formation of these minerals were studied by examing their occurrence and mineralogical properties. The so-called pottery stone of this mine is characterized by the predominance of sericite and quartz. The sericite of the pottery stone is mostly $2M-{1}$ type. And many of quartz particles are smaller than a few micron in diameter. The pottery stone also contained a small amount of pyrophyllite and muscovite. The pottery stone deposit occurs within the Cretaceous rhyodacite and is particularly well developed near the contact with the quartz porphyry which intrudes the rhyodacite. The fact implies that the pottery stone is the product of hydrothermal alteration of the rhyodacite by the intrusion of quartz porphyry. The pottery stone was formed by the alteration that accompanies the dissociation of feldspar and chlorite in parent rocks and subsequent formation of sericte and quartz. Smectite, laumontite and kaolinite occur locally within the altered rocks. These minerals were formed after formation of pottery stone. It is noteworthy that beidellite occurs as a pink-colored clay from the altered rocks in the mine.

This study is to investigate the effect of a domestic pottery stone as a batch inclusion on the synthesis of porcelain bodies and their physical properties. The basic composition of porcelain bodies studied was consisted of 50wt% kaolin, 25wt% feldspar and 25wt% quartz. The inclusion of pottery stone was performed by partial substitution for either quartz or feldspar up to 25% of the total weight of batches. Sixteen porcelain bodied different in batch composition were prepared by firing them in the temperature range from 110$0^{\circ}C$ to 135$0^{\circ}C$ and their physical properties and microstructures were carefully examined. It was found that the inclusion of pottery stone could reudce the firing temperature for vitrification up to 5$0^{\circ}C$ but appreciably decreased the mechanical strength of sintered bodies. The most faborable result could obtain with partial substitution for both quartz and feldspar at same time up to 25% of the total batch weight.

The purpose of this study is to produce artificial lightweight aggregate. The properties of aggregate are deducted by analysing the plasticity of aggregate according to the addictive contents of $CaCO_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ on constant plastic temperature($1150^{\circ}C{\sim}1160^{\circ}C$) and the specific gravity, the percentage of water absorbtion. The density on the temperature of $1150^{\circ}C{\sim}1160^{\circ}C$ which results from that the plastic temperature of pottery stone is decreased by increasing the addictive contents of $CaCO_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ manufacturing artificial light weight aggregate using pottery stone is included in the arrange of light weight aggregate density. And the percentage of water absorbtion is 4.2~14% which is similar to or lower than existing artificial light weight aggregate. The unit volume weight is in inverse proportion to density and to increase addictive contents of flux.

The pottery stones from the Taebek area consist of abundant quartz with kaolinite. In this study, the characteristics of pottery stones were examined by XRD (X-ray diffractometer), XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectrometer), TG-DTA and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). The chemical compositions of the raw ore showed 71.75 wt%$SiO_2$, 22.10 wt%$Al_2O_3$, 1.86 wt%CaO, 2.97 wt%$K_2O$, 0.62 wt%$Fe_2O_3$. When pottery stone of 3 mm size was leached at $80^{\circ}C$ with 10 % oxalic acid, the content of $Fe_2O_3$ was reduced from 0.62 wt% to 0.24 wt% and the whiteness was enhanced. Grinding of pottery stone was conducted by a planetary ball mill using media of zirconia, the average particle size was 2～5 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

Dolmens bearing the burial layout and stone coffin tombs of the late Bronze Age were excavated from Samdeok-ri, Goseong, Gyeonsangnsamdo, and grave items such as red-burnished pottery, arrowheads, and stone swords were also discovered. In the case of the red-burnished pottery that was found, it retains a pigment layer with a thickness of about 50 to 160㎛, but with most of the other items, exfoliation and peeling-off of pigment layers can be observed on the surface. The raw materials of the red-burnished pottery contained moderately sorted minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and hornblende, and partly opaque iron oxide minerals were also identified. In particular, the raw materials of the red-burnished pottery from stone coffin tomb #6 were different from those of the other pottery, containing large amounts of hornblende and feldspar. The pottery's red pigment was identified as hematite and showed similar mineral content of raw materials such as fine grained quartz, feldspar, and hornblende. The firing temperature is estimated to have been approximately 900℃, based on their mineral phase. The possibility exists that the raw materials had been collected from the Samdeok-ri area, because diorite and granite diorite with dominant feldspar and hornblende have been identified within 3km of that area. During the pottery manufacturing process, it is estimated that the pigment was painted on the entire surface of the red-burnished pottery after it had been molded and then finished using the abrasion technique. In other words, the red-burnished pottery was made by the process of vessel forming - semi drying - coloring - polishing. The surface and cross-section of the pottery appears differently depending on the concentration of the pigment and the coloring method used after vessels were formed. Most of the excavated pottery features a distinct boundary between pigment and body fabric. However, in the case of pottery in which fine-grained pigments penetrate the body fabric so that layers cannot be distinguished, there is the possibility that the fine-grained pigment layer was applied at a low concentration or immediately after vessel forming. Many cracks can be seen on the surface pigments in thickly painted pottery items, and in many cases, only a small portion of the pigment layers remain due to surface exfoliation and abrasion in the burial environment. It is reported that pottery items may be more easily damaged by abrasion if coated with pigment and polished, so it is believed that the red-burnished pottery of the Samdeok-ri site suffered from weathering in the burial environment. This damage was more extensive in the potsherds that were scattered outside the tomb.

Two dinnerware porcelain bodies involving partial replacement of feldspar and kaoline by about 35wt% domestic GYUNGJU-pottery stone were developed and their properties such as shrinkage, porosity, firing range, linear thermal expansion, pyroplastic deformation, degree of whiteness and mechanical strength were compared with those of a traditional clay-flint-feldspar body. The experimental results showed that one of the clay-flint-feldspar-pottery stone body with 1% ZnO addition had the firing range of 115$0^{\circ}C$~121$0^{\circ}C$, whereas the traditional body had the firing range of 12$25^{\circ}C$~129$0^{\circ}C$. The linear drying shrinkage and linear dry-to-fired shrinkage of all bodies were 2.5~4.5% and 15~18%, respectively. And the major crystalline phases of sintered bodies were $\alpha$-quartz and secondary mullite surrounded by glassy phases. The modulus of rutpture of sintered bodies was ranged from 860 to 870kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and the microhardness of sintered bodies was 680 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Physicochemical properties and sintering characteristics of pottery stone (Taebaek, Haenam, Aphae, Haengnam) were evaluated as a raw material for porcelain products. Due to acid leaching procedure, the concentration of iron oxide ($Fe_2O_3$) was decreased to < 1.0 wt%, which affects the whiteness of sintered samples. Mean particle size of acid leached samples is $5.7{\sim}10{\mu}m$ with narrow particle size distribution (PSD), which is lower than that of the pristine ($8{\sim}18{\mu}m$) with broad PSD. According to phase analysis by X-ray diffraction, most of pottery stones (PS) have Quartz phase as a main phase with Pyrophyllite as a second phase, however, Haenam PS shows halloysite phase. The absorption rate was in order of Taebaek (A, B, C)~Aphae (A, B) < Taebaek (Special A) < Haengnam < Haenam, and the samples sintered in reductive atmosphere showed lower absorption rate. This result might be due to the concentration of feldspar contained in PS, working as a flux in sintering process. Comparing the color of the sintered samples, the whiteness of refined PS (Taebaek special A, Haenam, Hangnam) is higher than acid leached PS (Taebaek A/B/C, Aphae A/B). The whiteness (L*) for refined PS is 95~97 %, which is higher than acid leached (82~96 %). This might be due to lower iron oxide concentration of the refined PS (0.11~0.58 %) than those of the acid leached PS (0.41~1.91 %) even though most of iron oxide was removed by acid leaching.

Owing to the excavation of Goseong Munam-ri site, there has much advance in study of chronology of the early Neolithic Age flat-bottom potteries distributed in the mid-eastern part of Korean Peninsular. Relics such as stone tools, clay products, ornaments as well as potteries from Goseong Munam-ri site reflect cultural relation with Boisman culture in Duman river basin area and with the southern part of Korean Peninsular. Common features can be found in some potteries, arrowheads, scrapers, and sinkers from Boisman culture and Goseong Munam-ri site. There are much more common features in pottery and earring-making techniques observed in Goseong Munam-ri site and the southern part of the peninsular. Thus it may be possible to analogize migration or spread of people from the mid-eastern part to the southern part of Korean Peninsular.
