An Architectural Archaeological Study on the Buyeo Hwajisan Historic Site No. 2019-2

The remains of Buyeo Hwajisan are the representative Baekje architectural remains in Buyeo, located around Gungnamji. The building with wooden pillars built first was removed, and the cornerstone building built used roof tiles, but only the roof-end male tile was detected, the decoration tiles such as chimi, ridge roof-end male tile, rafter tile, additional rafter tile were not found. The No. 2019-2 building site is located on the west-facing slope of Hwajisan and was built as a cornerstone building without a base stone. There was a corridor in the front and a room in the back, and the inside was made up of a one space and the wall was found to be built with a sanja(橵子) of clay wall without a columnar line(柱楦). A cornerstone building site without a base stone has also been confirmed in the rectangular building site within the remains of Bongseon-ri, Seocheon, known as the Baekje Dynasty Altar. However, It can be said that the cornerstone building sites, such as the temple site and presumed to be the site of a royal palace of the Baekje Sabi period have both specificity and scarcity in that they mostly have base stones. So far, the remains of Hwajisan, including building site No. 2019-2 has been presumed to be a Detached Palace, a banquet hall and a residence for foreign envoys, ect. However, It was considered to be a Ceremonial building related to a ritual rather than a Detached palace, a banquet hall, or a residence for foreign envoys in that there are no heating facilities such as tunnelshaped heating system, outdoor kitchen range, and large ice store house was built around the area, and there was only one well compared to the number of buildings.
