The growth and interaction of Gaya political bodies in Namwon Ayeong Basin
The purpose of this article was to investigate the interrelationship between the growth of a political body that grew based on the Namwon Ayeong Basin and the surrounding political body. The Cheonggye-ri-Walsan-Yugok-ri and Durak-ri tombs, which contain the appearance of a political body originating and growing in the Ayeong Basin, can be defined as a central ancient tombs that has lasted at least a century. Along with changes in material culture, interrelationships with surrounding political bodies can be discussed. Social changes and interrelationships in ancient society, including the Gaya political body, are dynamic and have various properties. Until now, many of the areas established as the so-called Daegaya culture, including the Namwon Ayeong Basin, have explained the nature of interrelationships with internal organizations in society through the unilateral influence of hierarchical central forces such as the Goryeong Jisan-dong Ancient Tombs. In order to explain the origin and social development of a particular political body, such as a group in the Ayeong Basin, it is important to understand the internal structure of society and to approach how the network of relations between them and the nature of interrelationships within them change. Wolsan-ri-Yugok-ri and Durak-ri tombs in Namwon are central ancient tombs that emerge as new central forces after the second half of the 5th century, and are the growth model of the trailing central high-guns. In particular, the Yugok-ri and Durak-ri tombs are typical central high-guns of the trailing growth model. The origin of a specific unit political body based on the sub-region and the fact that the central force persists for more than a century can be confirmed by changes in the material culture within the central ancient tombs. In particular, it can be assumed that the central forces of the Ayeong Basin are the main agents of negotiations and interrelationships with surrounding powers such as Baekje and Daegaya, as well as the surrounding areas, until the ccentral ancient tombs forces moved to the Yugok-ri and Durak-ri tombs.
