ABSTRACT

Onggi is one of the vessels the people used that is deeply related with their everyday life. It is kind of pottery widely used for storage and transport containers until the modern age with ceramics for tableware but it was very far from pottery studies and there are not enough researches for its origin, types, uses and a process of spread. This study was promoted by Ulju-gun and Onggi from the Joseon Dynasty was investigated about its characteristics and time era through 12 remains in Ulju. In Ulju-gun, Onggi operation was mainly in the middle and late Joseon Dynasty including Dongcheon-ri Onggi klin in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The work is still in operation around Oegosan village in Onyang-eup. The earliest grazed Onggi in Korea is from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries equivalent to Sunji-ri in Cheongdo and Usan-ri in Naju. Therefore we could know the origin of Onggi is from the early days of the Joseon Dynasty and there are about 20 relics in this period all over the country. As a result of the Ulju-gun research, 1 is for the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, 1 is for the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and 10 are for the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries among the 12 sites. The findings ascertain that Onggi operation was conducted continuously during the entire Joseon Dynasty. Ulju Onggi production history after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty has been verified through results already studied about Duckhyun-ri in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Cheonjeon-ri and Banri historical sites in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Futhermore we do know the substance from literature of 'Guyoungjeom' and 'Naegijeom' in 『Ulsaneupji』 and it is helpful for the study of Onggi production after the nineteenth century. This time the research was limited to remains' indexes confirming their status of distribution but more archaeological studies are expected to find out about production and supply of Ulju Onggi by comparions with an adjacent region, Gyeongsang-do's Onggi.
