Description
The shell mound was formed in the Prehistoric Age by the waste shells that piled up after being thrown away by local inhabitants after eating shellfish. Through it, we can see something of the living pattern of the age. The site is located on a hill slope near the seashore in Dongsam-dong. It shows earth layers piled up over a long time through the duration of the New Stone Age. It consists of five layers, and as well as shells, farming tools, everyday necessities like stoneware, and animal bones were also found here. Excavation of primitive pattern-less pottery and pottery with comb patterns, typical of the New Stone Age, has contributed greatly to the study of the cultural state and the lifestyle of the time.
