Ulsan Daegok Museum Lecture on 'Jeokseok Mokgwakmyo' Sites in Ulsan and Gyeongju

Ulsan Daegok Museum will hold a special lecture titled "The Culture of Stone-Coffin Tombs in Ulsan and Gyeongju" at 2 p.m. on the 30th in the audiovisual room of Daegok Museum to celebrate the "August Culture Day."

In this lecture, Shim Hyun-cheol, a researcher from the National Gyeongju Cultural Heritage Research Institute, will examine the stone-coffin tombs found at sites such as Hasamjeong and Jungsan-ri in Ulsan, as well as the stone-coffin tomb sites around Daereungwon in Gyeongju. He will explain the similarities and differences in the stone-coffin tomb culture between the Ulsan and Gyeongju regions.

Stone-coffin tombs, also known as dolmujideonneol tombs, are a type of burial style where a pit is dug into the ground, wooden coffins are installed inside, then covered with stones, and finally covered again with soil.

Those wishing to participate can apply through the Ulsan Public Facility Reservation Service by the 29th or register on-site on the day of the lecture. The number of participants is limited to 30 on a first-come, first-served basis.
