Korean archaeology

Korean archaeology is the study of South and North Korea's ancient past, exploring artifacts, structures, and cultural histories from prehistoric times to the modern age. Key periods include the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Three Kingdoms, and Goryeo eras, which shaped Korean identity. Archaeologists excavate sites like dolmens (ancient burial structures) and ancient city ruins to uncover tools, pottery, and other relics, offering insights into social structures, trade, and daily life. This field helps understand Korea's rich heritage and its interactions with neighboring cultures, contributing to a broader understanding of East Asian history.
