This study investigates the structure and tendency of polity in western Daegu at 5th and 6th century. This research shows the province of polity and its structure and political change of the communities organizing Silla with the analysis of archeological materials. The research areas of this paper are Dasa and Whawon near the coast of Nakdong river which are included in western Daegu. The ChapterⅡ provides the analyses of ancient tombs and fortress formed in Dasa and Whawon from 4th century to 6th century. The analyses manifest the existence and states of tombs and the mountain fortress walls at Munsanli and Juckockli in Dasa and at Seongsan-dong in Whawon. With analyzing the formation of the sites and their political status the structure and the province of polities and their changes will be provided in above sites remains. In chapter Ⅲ I suggest the chronological order of the ceramic type through analyzing the artifacts shown in chapter 2. In addition I propose the hierarchy of settlements according to the criterion of the external forms of the tombs. The chronological order of the ceramic type shows that the earthen vessels were produced independently from the early 5th century to the end of 5th century. However the external forms of ceramics began to be assimilated to those of Silla from the late 5th century to 6th century. The hierarchy of the settlements indicates that the ancient tombs near the Nackdong river represent the existence of settlement in the vicinity of them. Furthermore they show that the size of the tombs is related with the political status of the settlement. In chapter Ⅳ the structure and political tendency of polities in western Daegu are provided on the basis of the analyses in chapter Ⅲ. I propose the existence of two main political villages which are located at Dasa in Munsanli and at Whawon in Seongsan respectively. At these places high mound tombs with above 20m diameter are formed in a group which are assumed to belong to the ruling class. Since the villages are always in company with high mound tombs and fortresses they substantiate that these places are very significant strategic places of Silla. The two polities contain more than 3 or 5 villages. For example there are villages at Juckockli Bonchonli and Monyangli around Mounsanli in Dasa respectively. In addition it is assumed that there are lower ranked villages at Samlili Bonli Kumhungli Whichunli around Seongsan in Whawon. However since the unit and structures of polities are not constant there appear different patterns at 4th century and 6th century. For example the archaeological evidence of independent polities at 4th century has not been found in Dasa. On the contrary it is assumed that there was a polity with Whawon fortress in the center of Whawon. In addition the existence of stone chamber tombs indicates that there was a new central polity around Sulwha-dong after the mid 6th century. I conclude that these changes of unit and structure of polities are caused by merging into Silla and their resettlements. They are also influenced by their own political status and the control system of Silla. The study of unit and structure of polity should not be limited in the following of the geographic information or historical literature. The research of unit and structure of polity should be accompanied by the thorough analyses of the change of archaeological materials.
