The Hap'cheon Samga Tomb Group is a major Gaya inland tumulus cemetery with over 330 large burial mounds. Through tumuli constructed between the 1st-7th centuries progressing from simple coffin burials to wooden chamber burials to pit-type stone chamber burials to horizontal stone chamber burials, along with changes in external form and grave goods composition, it enables comprehensive understanding of the entire process of Gaya political entities' establishment, growth, development, and extinction in the Gaya inland region. Consequently, it possesses outstanding historical and scholarly value.
