Info only · no booking hereAbout
These are tombs from the Gaya period located on a hill in the Bokcheon-dong area of Busan. Through several rounds of excavation surveys, around 40 tombs have been identified, but most of them still remain underground. The tomb types include wooden coffin tombs with a pit dug out to create a wide chamber for a wooden coffin, stone chamber tombs with square stone walls built underground and covered with a ceiling, and pit tombs where the body was buried directly in the ground, among various other forms. Named after the hill's original name, they are also called Haksodae (鶴巢臺) Ancient Tombs. Since the first excavation of about 10 tombs by Dong-A University, Busan University excavated 3 tombs on the eastern slope of the hill in 1974. Subsequently, over 100 tombs were excavated and surveyed by the Busan University Museum and the Busan City Museum. Many of these tombs were large and unlooted, yielding a variety of artifacts. Earthenware items, including mounted dishes, jar-shaped vessels, and clay lamps, are characteristic pottery of the lower Nakdonggang River region. Iron armor and helmets were also excavated in diverse forms.
