This article attempted to comprehensively understand the method and role of calculating the number of workers and stonemasons in Silla's literature sources and the fortress building epigraph through pre-modern fortress building documents. Reviewing fortress construction materials from the Joseon Dynasty, the calculation of the station according to the difference between the construction procedure and process, the mobilization of the Workers and Stonemason according to the construction period, and the impact of the number and mobilization period on the overall construction operation of the building were examined. Based on this, it was found that even in Silla, local construction was preceded by orders or permission from the central government, the right to requisition for non-jurisdictional areas was limited in regional scope and number of workers, and the number of workers needed was coordinated according to the size of the construction. The stonemasons listed in “Namsanshinseong Epigraph” trimmed the stones used in the walls. It can be seen that an attempt was made to uniformly utilize building technology by uniformly arranging stonemasons for each construction organization when constructing Namsanshinseong.
