Kungsan yujŏk (English name)

Japanese: 弓山遺跡 - きゅうざんいせき（英語表記）Kungsan yujŏk

Located in Unha-ri, Oncheon-gun, South Pyongan-do, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, this is a representative settlement site from the Comb-patterned Pottery (Neolithic) period in the northern west coast region. After trial excavation in 1949, it was excavated in 1950. It is located on the upper part of the gentle southeastern slope of Sogyusan, an independent hill at an altitude of 20m, about 45km west of Pyongyang. The coastline in this area currently recedes about 2km west of the site, but it is believed to have been located very close to the site during the Comb-patterned Pottery period. Five pit dwellings were discovered buried in a shell layer, and more than 800 man-made remains, including comb-patterned pottery, stone tools, and bone and horn tools, as well as natural remains such as animal bones, fish bones, and shells, were collected.

朝鮮民主主義人民共和国，平安南道温泉郡雲河里にあり，西海岸北部地方における櫛目文土器(新石器)時代の代表的集落遺跡。1949年の試掘を経て50年に発掘調査された。平壌の西方約45km，独立丘陵状を呈した標高20mの小弓山の南東緩傾斜面の上段に立地する。現在この付近の海岸線は，遺跡の西方約2kmのところに後退しているが，櫛目文土器時代には，遺跡のすぐ近くにあったものと推測される。貝層に埋まって竪穴式住居跡5基が検出され，また，櫛目文土器，石器，骨角器など800点以上の人工遺物と，獣骨，魚骨，貝などの自然遺物が採集された。
