Using the Wolseong ruins of Gyeongju as an example, it provided a rough explanation of how relics for testicular research are collected and what analysis is performed on the collected relics. Unlike general opening books, the Korean version was created and published based on explaining photos in the form of a magazine that is easy to read.
This year, we are introducing the process of conducting domestic high environment research by translating these contents into English.
It is largely divided into three parts, and the analysis method is introduced focusing on the three types of relics that are most frequently identified in the ruins: bones, wood, and seeds. Since most of the artifacts analyzed in this way start to disappear from the moment they are excavated from the ruins, they explained how to cope with them, how to store them, and what can be known through analysis.
