ABSTRACT

Archaeologists have continuously investigated historic sites of three Kingdoms and Unified Silla period since 1930s. Through these surveys, we confirm that there are potteries which are various shapes and different sizes at the bottom of buildings. Even though we founded many kinds of personal adornments in the wood monument at the Hwangyoung temple, these personal adornments have been come into spotlight because of Jindangu in 1980s. After that time, metal and small instruments were identified at the historic sites and finally, Jindangu was generalized. Jindangu is divided with the sporadically placing and fixed setting according to a burying method. the former is used with various remains including vessels, ornaments, living appliances and the latter is to dig a hole and bury vessels utilizing a brass bowl with a lid, an earthenware, a necked jar. I examine a change and characteristic according to the burying method and offering gets of Jindangu. The occurrence of Jindangu, sporadically placing type in Hwangyong temple. Thereafter the setting type begins and uses various potteries. The establishment and prevalence of it, usually using a brass bowl with a lid, small soft earthenware, a herd burying type emerges after individual burying type. After that time, a kind of pottery shape is changed and jar with long body and short-necked jar with a flat bottom are used as Jindangu. Therefore Jindangu is emerged when a nine-storied wood monument of Hwangyong temple is constructed, as Buddhist ritual was adopted on the concept of the god of the earth that represents the existing aboriginal belief and Taoism. I think that the royal capital was constructed by branch-ruled system(條坊制) and rapidly diffused together. Moreover, a ritual work becomes more various and complex after unified Silla period.
