The Haman Marisan Tumuli Group was originally separated into Haman Dohangli Tumuli and Haman Marisan-ri Tumuli, which were unified and redesignated as the Haman Marisan Tumuli Group on July 28, 2011, in consideration of historical characteristics. This tumuli group of 37 large tumuli, believed to be the tombs of Ara Gaya kings, is arranged in rows at elevated positions. The site was first investigated during the Japanese colonial period, when the then-designated 34th tumulus measured 39.3 meters in diameter and 9.7 meters in height, representing a large-scale tomb. Recent excavations of the 8th tumulus revealed the skeletal remains of five sacrificial burials.
