Characteristics of the internal facilities of Daegaya Palace Site from the perspective of the Funeral

Focusing on the characteristics of the Daegaya palace site in Goryeong, we looked into the possibility that a mourning was held inside and a funeral hall was constructed. As a basis for this, attention was paid to the recent continuation of new discussions regarding the location of funeral hall. In addition, considering the original purpose and nature of mourning, the actual period and accessibility of the funeral, the location of the funeral was focused on the palace rather than a group of ancient tombs or the top of a hill. Accordingly, based on the archaeological phenomenon confirmed at the Daegaya Palace Site, similar cases of Pillar-wall Building and large residential areas with stoves in the Baekje region were compared. Based on the close relationship between Baekje and the Daegaya ruling class since the 6th century, it is believed that Baekje culture was actively accepted and even the funeral rituals was introduced into the Daegaya ruling class. As a result, it was determined that the funeral hall with the Pillar-wall Building as an attached facility was constructed inside Daegaya Palace. In the future, it was emphasized that comparative archaeological discussions are needed on the possibility that Confucian burial rites were introduced from China to the Korean Peninsula and were transformed locally by reflecting the characteristic tomb cultures of each country and the political and social atmosphere of the time.
