| Abstract |
Relics in the Iron Age excavated in the Honam region has increased from the 1990's by reason of excavating to construct the west coast highway. Even though many research of the relics has made progress, a study on the dwellings has not. Therefore, this study examines the floor plan shape, pillar hole and its arrangement and inner facilities of dwellings in Honam region during the Iron Age in order to find out their architectural characteristics. The research results are as follows : Floor plan shape is mainly square-shaped, which contrasts to that of the Bronze Age, a mainly circular type. The four column types(四柱式) are divided into four(square, rectangular, trapezoid, indeterminate) but square type is the most popular. In particular, span of the square type are mostly between 233～279㎝. The Span size is similar to that of main room in traditional korean low- class houses in Jeonnam region. The four column type in the Bronze Age have the span below 2.3m, is smaller than that in the Iron Age and its arrangement is not regular. This evidence seems to lead to that the basic span of traditional korean low-class house in this region had been fixed from the Iron Age. |
