National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage Publishes Korean and English Editions of the Journal of Korean Archaeology

The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage announced on the 4th that it has published the Korean and English editions of the '2021 Korean Archaeology Journal,' which contains the results of nationwide buried cultural heritage excavations. This report compiles the key achievements of important sites surveyed last year. It includes thirty-one selected sites of high academic value that attracted attention from academia and the media, such as the Paleolithic Maedun Cave in Jeongseon and the Donggung area of Gyeongbokgung Palace from the Joseon Dynasty. The most notable highlight is the site in Gongpyeong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, where a large quantity of Joseon Dynasty metal movable type in Hangul was excavated. A QR code is embedded in the explanation of Joseon's metal culture contained in a ceramic jar, allowing viewers to watch related presentations and videos. The booklet will be distributed to national and public libraries and related research institutions both domestically and internationally. It is also available for viewing on the institute's website.
