The changes of dwelling patterns in the transition of the early to middle Bronze Ages in the region of Asan Bay area are connected to the development process of Songgukri-type dwelling. Asan Bay area is the place embracing the Sapgyocheon basin of Cheonan-Asan region which is pointed out as the formation place of Songgukri-type in the many previous studies and the Anseongcheon river basin of Southern Gyeonggi Province, and it may be called as the key region to understand the transition of the early-middle Bronze Ages.
In order to explain dwelling patterns of the transition period, they established so-called ‘-type dwelling’ and explained the occurrence process of Songgukri-type dwelling, but the evidence on the order of the time between diverse dwelling forms is in an insufficient state. It is thought that we shall have to review first how the dwellings of varied forms in the early-middle transition period established in the previous studies have the time position in order to understand the dwelling patterns of the early-middle transition period of Bronze Ages properly.
Based on this awareness, in this thesis we attempted the sequencing by using the chronology of earthenware and stoneware to examine dwelling patterns in the transition period of Asan Bay area, and performed a comprehensive verification of the data such as carbon age and abode overlapping relationship etc.
As a result, unlike the position of the housing type where the position relation between the oval pit which was recognized as a shelter in the transition period and the foramen forms the non-axis, or the housing type where the foramen is installed outside both ends of the oval pit, the form of Al(the existence of foramen inside oval pit) appears from the early period.
After then, the uniform flow of varied forms inside Songgukri-type dwelling has not been observed and it shows the patterns being distributed sporadically. The diverse internal forms(A, C, B, N) of dwelling are identified from the early period to the late period of Songgukri-type, and the time position between varied dwelling forms through the chronological data of relics is not discerned.
Thus when the varied forms inside the dwelling appearing in the same times are connected to social · economic changes in the macroscopic viewpoint, the existence of placement of the pillar seems to have a big correlation with the area rather than th time difference, which was interpreted to be highly likely to be the mode variation according to the size of abode.
Through the carbon age data, the overlapping period between Yeoksamdong-type and Songgukri-type continues for more than 150 years, and whereas Yeoksamdong type dwellings are positioned in the ordered array using earthenware and stoneware, Songgukri-type dwellings appear, and after the appearance of Songgukri-type dwellings, Yeoksamdong type dwellings are developed continuously, and accordingly we can infer that the formation of Songgukri-type dwellings passed through a very gradual change.
