A Study On the Culture of Mt. Gotae

The culture of Mt. Gotae is the culture of Bronze Age that developed in the lower area of Liahoe River. This culture is transformed into the culture that represented an earthenware with three legs under the influence of the later Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age in the western area of the Liahoe River. Also, this culture lasted from the 19th century B.C. to the 15th century B.C. It is suggested that this culture is formed under the influence of the Neolithic Culture and the Bronze Culture. Then, the study on this culture still has not advanced in comparison with the culture around this area. Nevertheless, it is important to study the history and the culture of the Bronze Age in the south Manchuria through this culture. Also, this culture appear to be connected with the ancient Korean history. The character of this culture was located between the flatland typed culture in the western area of the Liahoe River and the mountain typed culture in the eastern area of the Liahoe River, and played an important role to communicate both cultures. Considering all data, it is impossible to compare both areas. Because we can not systematically reorganize the culture in the western area of the Liahoe River. But if we secure many data about the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age in the eastern area of the Liahoe River, it is necessary to reconsider the relation of both cultures.
