秦漢시기 城市의 형성과정과 지리정보의 구축

The Construction and Formation Process of Walled Cities Geographical Information during the Qin-Han Period: With a focus on the distribution of archeological city sites and tombs in northwest regions

Under the goal of examining in what forms walled cities were built in northern regions, this study set out to conduct quantitative analysis by putting together the settlement relics of Han and adding tomb locations to the old archeological city sites mentioned as walled cities. That is, archeological city sites, tombs, and all kinds of relics that were treated separately were integrated to handle walled cities as settlements in a broader sense. In addition, the study would offer an overview of the formation processes of 郡and 縣in local areas for their application and review again the ways walled cities were formed based on the distribution patterns of settlements during Han. There is a need to consider tombs in research on the formation process of walled cities because they offer grounds to figure out changes to the concerned areas according to different periods. Since tombs are important elements to show the existence forms of settlements, the study will focus on the diversity of tomb styles in the cemeteries as well as tomb sizes. The distribution of different tomb styles will provide an indicator to show a society in northern regions, revealing that various tomb styles were created among different northern regions. The study examined the local characteristics of a society in northern regions by checking the locations of tombs in northern regions during Han and making their distribution map according to their attributes.
