경산 조영동 222번지 유적 출토 인골의 안정동위원소 분석을 통해 본 식단 복원

초록

In this study, we tried to find out the dietary habits of the Three Kingdom period’s Silla(新羅) territory using the analysis of stable isotopes of human bones from tombs of 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞), Gyeongsan(慶山). Previous studies showed that dietary reconstruction on the Silla population in Gyeongsan areas were obtained through the analysis of stable isotopes of Joyeong-dong great tumulus(造永洞 古塚群) of Imdang site(林堂 遺蹟). In this study, we tried to reconstruct human diets through the stable isotope analyses of human remains from the tombs of 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞), which are composed of plain burials next to well-known high burial mounds: Joyeong-dong great tumulus(造永洞 古塚群). Our results indicate that the people in 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞) have mainly consumed C3 plant species such as rice, wheat, barley, soybean. Isotope data revealed that deer, wild boar, and wild birds (pheasants, wild geese) are important animal protein sources in the tombs of 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞). Furthermore, people in the tombs of 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞) consumed less marine fish and more C4 plants than people in high burial mounds: Joyeong-dong great tumulus(造永洞 古塚群). Thus, we can suggest that people buried in tombs of 222 Joyeong-dong(造永洞) are not elite class rather than common people in Silla society.
