Amsa-dong Prehistoric Settlement Site

Hi there team,

Today I decided to venture to Amsa-dong and see the prehistoric settlement village thats there.  

Amsa-dong Prehistoric Site is a recreation of the largest neolithic site in Korea.   Based near the Han River, the settlement was first inhabited by people 6,000 years ago.  

The area that the site is on is basically full of pit huts and pit houses, and reflects upon a time when people existed on hunting, fishing and gathering for their existence.   The local economy of the time in the area was indeed very much based on manual labor, so people of the time were also heavily involved in the manufacture of fishing nets, stone produce and spears to support the hunter gatherer lifestyle near the Han River.  

Fishing and the fish industry was not the only source of food supply for the people on the Han River area.   Acorns were also discovered in the area.  

People in this area lived in Pit Houses, which were built by digging holes in the ground and covering the holes with huts. 

The huts also had storage pits measuring 2 metres in diameter.  

You can see it all here team
