摘要

The discovery of the Bangudae rock engravings made great contributions. They provided important material for the prehistoric hunting of land animals, but noteworthy is the fact that they supplied even more valuable material on whaling. The engravings gave evidence that harpoons with lines had been already developed in prehistoric times as a method to hunt whales. They also indicate the targeted whale species of the time. I believe that the existing world history of primitive whaling needs to be partly rewritten according to the engravings. I would also like to point out that the Bangudae rock engravings are worthy of registering as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites of UNESCO. It is an unsolved mystery why whale hunts declined so soon instead of developing, when they appeared so early and before others in prehistoric Ulsan. It is unlikely that whaling which flourished in the region in the Bronze Age suddenly ceased at once some time at the end of the period. It would be more reasonable to suppose that it was continued at a much diminished scale even into the early Iron Age (300 B.C. to circa A.D. 0). It is unclear how long whaling was continued, but since there is no reference to whale hunts in the "Samguksagi" [editor's note: the oldest historical record in Korea of the Three Kingdoms, Sinra, Goguryeo, and Baekje], it is unlikely that it was carried on far into historical times. One possible reason for the decline is that primitive agriculture that began at the end of the Neolithic age developed in the Bronze Age, thanks to expanding farmlands and better productivity. Livestock breeding also developed, and with the stable supply of relatively abundant food, the people most likely withdrew from whale hunts that were extremely dangerous occuations. The whaling culture developed in Ulsan, the birthplace of prehistoric whale hunts in the Korean Peninsula, no doubt influenced its Japanese counterpart. The history of cultural exchange between the Korean and Japanese peoples go back to the Neolithic age. The fact has been verified by the earthenware excavated from archaeological sites of the age in the two countries (Yi 1998; Im 1992). They were also deeply involved in terms of fishing culture. Before the emergence of ancient countries, the fishermen of the Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago, not mindful of racial identity and without any idea of national boundary, probably freely intermingled by way the islands, influencing one another. The fishermen in the southern Korean Peninsula, and Japanese fishermen of Tsushima and Iki islands, and northwest Kyushu partly shared the same fishing culture. One good example is the spreading of composite fish hook industry of Korea to western Kyushu (Watanabe 1973; Yi 1998). The gradual spread of the fish hook industry to the southern regions suggests that whaling culture that first flowered in Ulsan also spread in the same direction. The origin of the whaling scene depicted in line incising on the surface of a burial jar in the later Middle Yayoi period (circa 1000 B.C.), which was recently found at the Harunotsuji site on Iki Island (Hiraguchi 2003), may be found in the whale hunts depicted in the Bangudae rock engravings. I believe it would be a most interesting theme for future studies.
