Description:
The First Exhibition Room displays the relics that our museum has excavated such as relics from Neolithic era and Bronze Age. The relics from Neolithic Age are mostly earthen vessels and stoneware excavated from subterranean dwelling, where they are exhibited distinctively by style. Earthen vessels are comb-pattern pottery with pointed bottom and rounded bottom bowl. Vessels with no figure or pattern are rounded bottom bowl, black colored vessel and hetero-vessel. For stoneware, there are arrowhead, stone axe, plow, grinding stone, stone grinding pestle, grindstone and netting weigh exhibited. Others are excavated from outside the dwelling, which are distinctive earthen vessels. We restored a small stoneware workshop, which will help people understand how they are made in the Neolithic Age.
For Bronze Age, burnished red pottery, some non-figured bowl, pot, spindle whorl and netting weigh from subterranean dwelling and dolmen, arrowhead, stone knife, stone axe, chisel, semi-lunar stone knife, spindle whorl and grindstone of stoneware are displayed. In addition, Korean mandolin bronze sword, ball-shaped bead and tubular jade are exhibited with photos taken during the excavation.
The Second Exhibition Room displays about 3,000 ancient coins donated by professor Jeon Suk-gil of nuclear medicine in our school, ancient Chinese coins from salvaged wrecked ship in Shinan and several other Korean relics.
The coins exhibited are goods used for exchanging in prehistoric period, metal coins in the Period of the Three Kingdom, Donggukjungbo, Haedongtongbo and Samhantongbo in Goryeo Kingdom, Joseontongbo, Sipjeontongbo and Sangpyeongtongbo in Joseon Dynasty. Paehwa, Pojeon, and Dojeon in Sunjin Dynasty, Bannyangjeon of Jin Dynasty and Osujeon, Hwacheon in Han Dynasty of China are displayed also.
Although most items are from professor Jeon Suk-gil, some various kinds of examples are added, especially, those which are excavated and researched from domestic academic facilities. Comparison between ancient Korean and Chinese coins makes it possible to help the public understand the history of coins more easily.
