ABSTRACT

The Bronze Age in Southern Manchuria began 24th century BCE. When the Bronze Age culture was first discovered there, scholars often tried to connect it with the Chinese culture or interpreted it as the culture of the Inner Asian people who came under the deep influence of the Chinese. However, with accumulation of new archaeological data, a new interpretation has become possible, and one must recognize it as a unique Manchurian culture. Ancient texts and myths suggest that the Old Chosdn of Korea should be considered as the subject of the Bronze Age culture in Manchuria. In other words, the Bronze Age culture in southern Manchuria had played a sig-nificant role in formation of Korean nation and history. The Korean academic circle should pay a close attention to the issue of the Bronze Age culture and ethnicity in Southern Manchuria.
