A comprehensive analysis of the corrosion characteristics of excavated bronze artifacts was conducted according to their alloy ratio and microstructure. Corroded by various factors, which resulted in different corrosion characteristics. Among these, corrosion may occur in the excavated bronze due to the difference in the alloy ratio, which is an internal factor. In this study, we tried to confirm the corrosion characteristics of the excavated bronze artifacts excavated from Songguk-ri site in Buyeo according to their alloy ratio and microstructure through a comprehensive analysis. The corrosion characteristics of the excavated bronze artifacts differed depending on the alloy ratio and microstructure, whereas bronze samples subjected to the corrosion tests were the same regardless of the alloy ratio and microstructure. Through this, the corrosion characteristics of excavated bronze artifacts can be determined based on the additional effects on pH, corrosion factors, and time in the burial environment which can affect metal ion movement, in addition to alloy ratio and microstructure. In the future, if a burial environment similar to the actual remains and a long-term corrosion test is conducted, it will be possible to confirm the corrosion mechanism as well as the corrosion characteristics of the excavated bronze artifacts.

Top type and Gun type), were carried out on 6 bronze artefacts which handed from generation to generation. Also, we attempted to study applicability for authenticity of the bronze artefacts using scientific analyses based on the specific element. The results of ICP-AES analysis showed that the bronze were formed from an alloy of Cu, Sn, Pb with trace elements such as Ag, As, Co, Fe, but there were not Zn found. The result of P-XRF are 10～25% lower in Cu and 10～20% higher in Sn than that of ICP-AES. This is because of destannification that the compound of SnO2 are present on the surface. The results of SEM-EDS represented that there is lead segregation. It was difficult to study applicability for authenticity of bronze artefact according to the microstructures and chemical components of the bronze artefacts. Therefore, as bronze artefacts have shown different corrosion materials depending on the buried environment and conserving environment, identifying the authenticity would be possible on the basis of the additional researches on the corrosion and comparative

Adding temper into clay prevents to shrink and crack, or twist the clay during the dry process. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of temper and the physical property of earthenware coffin according to the clay state modification in the reduction firing based on earthenware coffins found in Naju which had been made in Three Kingdom Period. Clay from the Oryang-dong site in Naju was used as circle shaped samples. The samples were tempered with various proportions (0%, 20%, 40%) and fired in various temperature (1000℃, 1100℃, 1200℃). Physical properties were identified by macroscopy, an optical microscope (x50), specific gravity and porosity. Chemical components and existence of specific minerals were identified by analysing XRF and XRD. As a result, the more firing temperature increase, clay volume expansion. To prevent the volume expansion, temper was added.

This study is expected to present instructions and analysis of Modern Dancheong pigments by its physical characteristics. Search pigments currently used and experiments proper mixing ratio of Jangdanyuksaek(Incarnadine). Samples are made by based on presented a mixture ratio which is less exfoliation, cracks and color change. And put into accelerated weathering test and ultraviolet ray degradation test. As a result in case of Jidang(TiO2) Rutile type is superior in discoloration and durability. Rutile type makes color difference remarkably because of oil absorption difference while mixing with Jangdan. Water paints which are used as a alternative present yellowness which means water paints lack in durability. whiting should be taken carefully as it has high brightness after degradation.
