   Wolgye-dong Janggobun Ancient Tomb

   월계동 장고분

   Located in Jangguchon Village in the low hilly area of the upper Yeongsan River, the Wolgye-dong Janggobun Ancient Tomb has yielded artifacts such as a well-developed square mound (方部), a shield-shaped moat (周濠), and trumpet-shaped earthenware. Characterized by its developed square mound, shield-shaped moat, and wide-flaring trumpet-shaped earthenware, this site is important for the study of the evolutionary history of ancient tombs. It also provides valuable materials for shedding light on ancient Korea-Japan relations regarding the origin of Japanese keyhole-shaped tumuli (前方後圓墳). Excavations were conducted twice, in 1993 and 1995, by the Chonnam National University Museum in accordance with the Gwangju High-tech Industrial Complex development plan. MoreLess
