In the stone-lined tombs from Cheongyang Rokpyeong-ri site, several stone-lined tombs corresponding to the Three Kingdoms Period, Unified Silla Period and Goryeo Dynasty were excavated. In this study, the stone properties of petrological, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics from 15 stone-lined tombs were analyzed, the rock species and occupation rate were reviewed, also the provenance area was interpreted. There are five types of rocks used as members of the tombs, including black sandstone, greywacke, slate, conglomerate and gneiss. As a result of magnetic susceptibilities, the rocks of the tombs and presumed provenance are all shown in the same range, and the similarity between the tombs and the source area is high in geochemical behavior characteristics. The stone properties of the tombs are the same as the presumed provenance rocks and is distributed within a 500m around the bedrock of the tombs in the excavation site, so it seems that self-sufficiency was possible on the site without a special procurement system. These stones are interpreted to have been constructed through some trimming without any special technique, but some stone tombs have been confirmed to used homogeneous black sandstone at the bottom of the tombs, so it is believed that there were artificial selection of stones.

In this study, the lithological characteristics of the Four Lion Three-story Stone Pagoda and Stone Lantern in Hwaeomsa temple were analyzed, and the origin was interpreted. The stone properties composing the stone pagoda and the lantern are dark gray medium to coarse grained granodiorite with small to large mafic microgranular enclaves (MME), and show a fairly heterogeneous lithology. The stone properties constituting the main stone cultural heritages in the precincts of the temple use the same granodiorite as the stone pagoda and lantern. Magnetic susceptibilities of the stones ranged from 2.03 to 19.40 (mean 11.59)×10<sup>-3</sup> SI unit, and the stones showed an almost identical distribution. The same granodiorites as the stone properties are exposed as a small intrusive rocks in the valley of Hwaeomsa temple, Toji-myeon and Gwangui-myeon area. As a result of comparing the lithological characteristics, magnetic susceptibility and geochemical behavior, it was confirmed that the rocks are identical to very similar rocks used in the stone cultural heritages of the temple. Also, many ancient quarrying traces are found in the outcrops of granodiorite, indicating that this was a place where stone quarried. Therefore, the grandiorite can be used as a substitution stones that may be needed in the repa ir process of the stone pa goda a nd stone la ntern.

“…To investigate the micromagnetic characteristics, we measured magnetic susceptibility. A nondestructive method was used to investigate the distribution of magnetic minerals in rocks, serving as a simple homogeneity check that shows different values according to chemical composition and minerogenic environment [16][17][18].…”

This study concerns the lithologic characteristics of the stone used as the main construction materials of ancient Korean tombs, and aims to understand how they were supplied. Specifically, we investigated the main ancient tombs in the Songpa district, south of the Hangang River in Seoul, composing the connected stone-mound tombs in the Seokchon-dong tomb complex, Bangi-dong tomb No. 3, and 13 horizontal stone-chamber tombs in the Gamil-dong tomb complex. There are major differences among the tombs reflected in the types of rock used as construction materials in these sites. Tombs at Seokchon-dong and Bangi-dong were built mainly using biotite gneiss, whereas those at Gamil-dong are composed of amphibole schist. By comparing the characteristics of the rocks collected from the provenance sites, we concluded that the quartzite used at the Gamil-dong tombs was from Cheonma Mountain, the gneiss at the Bangi-dong sites was from Daemo Mountain, and the amphibole schist and diabase at the Gamil-dong sites were from Cheonma Mountain. On the other hand, gravel-shaped stone materials are found in the tombs of Seokchon-dong and Bangi-dong, but not in Gamil-dong tombs. Therefore, it can be seen that between Seokchon-dong, Bangi-dong, and Gamil-dong tombs, there is a difference not only in the main constituent rock types, but also in the shape of the stone materials. These gravel-shaped stones are assumed to have been transported via the Hangang River drainage system and supplied to Seokchon-dong and Bangi-dong tombs. Therefore, we consider that the constructors of the tombs in the ancient Songpa district locally sourced materials of different rock types.
