Prehistoric Housing Site
Amsa-dong,
Historical Property No. 267
Amsa-dong 155, Kangdong-gu, Seoul
On a hill above the southern bank of the Han River in the eastern part of the capital of Seoul lie the remains of a community dating to the Neolithic period. The people lived in pit dwellings with straw thatch roofs. They used stone tools and weapons, fished, tilled the earth and produced a low-fire 'comb pattern' pottery that resembles pottery discovered in the Volga river basin, Siberia and Japan. In the southern region, Neolithic man lived in houses built on stilts.
Neolithic life centered around a stone hearth, and these people appear to have stored their food in pits. The entrance to their homes faced southeast, catching the sun and blocking the predominant winds. The size of the houses varied, but generally families appear to have had four or five members. Among the artifacts found at these Neolithic sites are pottery, arrowheads, stone sinkers and fish bones. Implements traditionally used by men, such as arrowheads and fishing sinkers, are generally found near the entrances to the dwellings, while implements related to women and cooking, such as pottery and fish bones, are found near the hearth, away from the entrance.

A good way to immerse yourself on the Korean culture is to visit the Korean Folk Village. Now, I usually don't like cultural amusement parks of sorts, but this one is an exception. The park has a vast array of traditional Korean dwellings, including a Buddhist temple, a Confucianism temple, a bakery house, a pottery house, a silk weaver house, a bamboo weaver house, a blacksmith, a market, a governor?s house, and much much more!
