Gangdong-gu (District Mayor Lee Soo-hee) will operate the prehistoric experience zone 'Amsarang,' which can only be experienced here, starting in June at the prehistoric experience classroom within the Amsa-dong archaeological site in Seoul.

Since April, the district has completely revamped the prehistoric experience classroom program and is successfully running various prehistoric experience programs that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The newly launched prehistoric experience zone 'Amsarang' uniquely offers experiences themed around the prehistoric era, making it the only one of its kind in Seoul, attracting great interest from participants.

'Amsarang' is a compound word combining ‘Amsa’ from the Seoul Amsa-dong archaeological site and ‘rang (with),’ meaning to do something together. Every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., visitors can purchase experience kits themed on jade (玉) ornaments and comb-patterned pottery at the prehistoric experience classroom and create them on-site.

There are two types of experience kits: ▲‘Jade (玉) Ornament Keyring,’ where you cut a core from obsidian to make a unique keyring carrying your own wish, and ▲‘Comb-patterned Pottery Scent Diffuser,’ where you carve comb-patterned designs expressing your identity to create a scent diffuser.

Additionally, Gangdong-gu has been developing products by interpreting artifacts from various perspectives to create unique experience programs exclusive to the Amsa-dong site. At the Seoul Amsa-dong archaeological site, professional programs with archaeological significance are regularly operated every weekend to help children develop interest in the prehistoric era and directly experience the lifestyle of that time.

Regular programs include ▲‘Prehistoric Hunter School,’ where participants make prehistoric stone tools and shoot bows as hunters, ▲‘Neolithic Cooking Class,’ where participants prepare food using prehistoric tools, ▲‘Archaeology Dream Excavation Team,’ where participants experience excavation as archaeologists, and ▲‘Neolithic Ornament Workshop,’ where participants make jade necklaces and clay figurines. Participation is possible by making a reservation in advance on the Seoul Amsa-dong archaeological site website.

Lee Soo-hee, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “The Seoul Amsa-dong archaeological site operates substantial and well-structured prehistoric experience programs that provide visitors not only enjoyment but also education on prehistoric history.” He added, “We will continue to strive to develop diverse content that can attract more residents’ interest in the Amsa-dong site.”
