“…More recently, other styles of Neolithic pottery have also been identified. Currently, the earliest Korean ceramics are from Cheju island with reported dates as early as 9920 BC, although this pottery tradition is said to have flourished especially after 7600 BC (G.K. Lee et al, 2019 ; Shoda et al, 2017 ). Appliqué yunggimun pottery, which may have been influenced by the Amur region, appears on the east coast of the peninsula in the sixth millennium BC (Shin et al, 2012 ).…”

While earlier research often saw Altaic as an exception to the farming/language dispersal hypothesis, recent work on millet cultivation in northeast China has led to the proposal that the West Liao basin was the Neolithic homeland of a Transeurasian language family. Here, we examine the archaeolinguistic evidence used to associate millet farming dispersals with Proto-Macro-Koreanic, analysing the identification of population movements in the archaeological record, the role of small-scale cultivation in language dispersals, and Middle-Late Neolithic demography. We conclude that the archaeological evidence is consistent with the arrival and spread of Proto-Macro-Koreanic on the peninsula in association with millet cultivation in the Middle Neolithic. This dispersal of Proto-Macro-Koreanic occurred before an apparent population crash after 3000 BC, which can probably be linked with a Late Neolithic decline affecting many regions across northern Eurasia. We suggest plague (Yersinia pestis) as one possible cause of an apparently simultaneous population decline in Korea and Japan.

“…2015;Kuzmin 2019). Recently, Lee et al (2019) made a more reasonable suggestion that GTP can be regarded as a unique archaeological cultural trait that was established as a local tradition: the use of plant material for tempering GTP was chosen to compensate for the shortcomings of the local clay and high specific gravity minerals under the environmental conditions of the isolated Jeju Island after the early Holocene. Although the absolute chronology of GTP has been wellestablished as the period within 9610-9490 cal BP (7670-7550 BC) with a 95.4% confidence level, the origin of the manufacturing process of this type pottery is still a controversial issue.…”

“…Surface decoration is mostly plain, and water trim marks are often discovered ( Figure 2d). We know that the raw material for GTP is sandy clay and that the herbaceous plant used for tempering was Miscanthus sinensis (Lee et al 2019). While GTP is a unique pottery type in Korea attributed to the Early Neolithic period, it nevertheless shares the use of plant fibers as tempering material with other pottery from the Russian Far East, Japan, and China (Go 2014).…”

Gosan-ri-type pottery (GTP) is a unique plant-fiber-tempered pottery from Korea and has only been found in Early Neolithic sites on Jeju Island. In this study, we conducted radiocarbon (14C) dating for one GTP sample and 10 charcoal samples collected from archaeological structures in which GTP was found in 2012. The measurement conditions, the internal quality assurance test, and the reliability test indicate that each 14C date is very reliable. However, the 14C dates of the charcoal samples were more accurate than that of the GTP sample due to contamination from younger humic acids. From the summary of all 14C dates of charcoal samples using the KDE model, we finally conclude that GTP was manufactured and utilized throughout the period 9610–9490 cal BP (7670–7550 BC) with 95.4% confidence level. This age corroborates the inference that GTP is the oldest known Korean Neolithic pottery.

“…Much study with the focus on the pottery has been conducted to reveal the relationship between craft production and social change [2] and potter development and its technologies [3]. Some studies mainly focus on the particular regional pottery on Jeju Island [4]. In line with the recent research, Korean ceramics display distinctive characteristics that vary across different periods and regions.…”

Ceramics comprise a significant portion of our cultural heritage, each piece manifesting unique attributes from its historical period and region of origin, discernible through embedded patterns. These patterns not only amplify the artistic appeal of the ceramics but are rich in symbolic meanings so they can provide insight into historical progressions. This paper presents a chronologically organized study of Korean ceramic patterns and explore their transformation inherent meanings and the craftsmanship of South Korean ceramics. Through this comprehensive comparison, the remarkable diversity and excellence of Korean ceramics are illuminated to pave the way for the creation of future masterpieces that seamlessly combine the mystical elegance of Goryeo ceramics with the humor, openness and moderation embodied by Joseon ceramics.
