Despite its importance, exploring prehistoric community formation presents significant epistemological and methodological challenges. In Korean archaeology, these issues have rarely been addressed primarily due to the longstanding dominance of the culture-historical paradigm. However, extensive archaeological investigations and the accumulation of radiocarbon dates in recent decades have led to the gradual emergence of new research trends. This paper introduces and reviews recent studies on community formation during Korea’s Chulmun (Neolithic) and the subsequent Mumun (Bronze Age) periods. While community and the village should not be equated, in order to archaeologically approach community formation, we examine the formation, growth, and dissolution of villages and their relationship with broader spatio-temporal population dynamics by analyzing a large radiocarbon dataset from Korea. We then discuss current conceptual and methodological issues related to the study of prehistoric community formation in Korea. Our discussion reveals the fluidity and flexibility of communities in the hunter-gatherer societies of the Chulmun period and the emergence of large villages and multilevel communities in the Mumun period following the transition to a sedentary agricultural economy and increasing social complexity. Finally, we highlight current research trends and future directions for the study of communities in prehistoric Korea.

韩国 Chulmun(新石器时代)和 Mumun(青铜时代)时期的社区形成



尽管史前群落形成很重要,但探索史前群落的形成提出了重大的认识论和方法论挑战。在韩国考古学中,这些问题很少得到解决,主要是因为文化-历史范式的长期主导地位。然而,近几十年来广泛的考古调查和放射性碳测年的积累导致了新的研究趋势逐渐出现。本文介绍并回顾了韩国 Chulmun(新石器时代)和随后的 Mumun(青铜时代)时期社区形成的最新研究。虽然社区和村庄不应等同起来,但为了从考古学上接近社区形成,我们通过分析来自韩国的大型放射性碳数据集来研究村庄的形成、发展和消解以及它们与更广泛的时空人口动态的关系。然后,我们讨论了与韩国史前群落形成研究相关的当前概念和方法问题。我们的讨论揭示了 Chulmun 时期狩猎采集社会中社区的流动性和灵活性,以及 Mumun 时期在向定居农业经济过渡和社会复杂性增加后出现的大村庄和多层次社区。最后,我们强调了史前韩国群落研究的当前研究趋势和未来方向。
