Earthenware coffins have so far been excavated in 16 areas including Pusan (Koejong-dong Nopo-dong Oryundae) kimhae (Yean-ri Toerae-ri Yangdong-ri Hoehyon-ri Chinal-dong) Hapohon (Chopo-ri Chang-ri Ponggye-ri Pangyeje) Changwon (Sandong-dong Togye-dong Tahori in Virchang) and Changnyong (Sa-ri) . The present study covered 97 Earthenware coffins in 14 areas excepting Koejong-dongs (Pusan) 10 and Togye-dongs(Changwon) 4 pieces whose reports are Unavailable. The researcher reached the following conclusions. In the lower Nakfong River area Kimhae (36 pieces) Changwon (38) and Hapehon (23) have majorify of coffins. In particular Changwons Samdong-dong hold 34 urns from which we may conclude that this ares had the most developed system of funerary urns. These earthenware urns are mainly located in low hilly districts. For instance relics of Yean-ri Kimhal are scattered in shell mounds about 60 m above the sea and those of Samdong-dong Changwon are sited in plain hills. In Hapchon coffins of Chopo-ri Chang-ri and Ponggye-ri are found around a riverside hill in the middle part of the Hwang River. Thus we presume that the ancestors lived on farming (presumably also on fishing) in th lower Naktong River. Then the system of earthenware urns was enjoyed by those farmers and fishers in this area. The urns are believed to have been made from the 1st century B.C. (Kimhals Hoehyon-ri) to the 6th century A.D. (changnyong and Hapchon). Mostly resembling lengthy eggs the living earthernwares have the designs of parallel latticed straw and knife shapes. The earthenwares were made up clay containing quartz feldspar sand etc. Small urns (60-80cm) are largely found in almost all regions in the lower Naktong River while middle size(90-130cm) urns are Leported in Toerae-ri kimhae and Samdong-dong Changwon and large (over 180cm) earthenwares which contained a full-straightened body are excavated in Samdong-dong Changwon only. Therefore earthenware coffins were most sophisticated in Changwons Samdong-dong belonging to the late 2nd-late 3rd century A.D. The direction of the coffins is similar to that of those in other areas of the peninsula. East-to West direction is shown in Kimhaes Toerae-ri and Yean-ri Whereas south-north and southeast-to-northwest directions arenoticed in other districts. This change reflects the influence of the funeral system of Han dynasty. The two-coffin system was a mainstream while three coffins were supplemented and the one-coffin system was used as the earthenware coffin system deteriorated. In general these urns are thought to have been used for oboriginals and children and for a body-straightened or a second funeral in the case of Samdong-dong Changwon. The researcher now hopes these results of the study will be of help in comparison with other earthenware coffins and in under standing Korean Funerary urns. He looks forward to the concern and advice from senior and contemporary researchers.
