Abstract

One of the applications of geomagnetic paleo-secular variation (PSV) is the age dating of archeological remains (i.e., the archeomagnetic dating technique). This application requires the local model of PSV that reflects non-dipole fields with regional differences. Until now, the tentative Korean paleosecular variation (t-KPSV) calculated based on JPSV (SW Japanese PSV) has been applied as a reference curve for individual archeomagnetic directions in Korea. However, it is less reliable due to regional differences in the non-dipole magnetic field. Here, we present PSV curves for AD 1 to 600, corresponding to the Korean Three Kingdoms (including the Proto Three Kingdoms) Period, using the results of archeomagnetic studies in the Korean Peninsula and published research data. Then we compare our PSV with the global geomagnetic prediction model and t-KPSV. A total of 49 reliable archeomagnetic directional data from 16 regions were compiled for our PSV. In detail, each data showed statistical consistency (N > 6, α95 < 7.8°, and k > 57.8) and had radiocarbon or archeological ages in the range of AD 1 to 600 years with less than ±200 years error range. The compiled PSV for the initial six centuries (KPSV0.6k) showed declination and inclination in the range of 341.7° to 20.1° and 43.5° to 60.3°, respectively. Compared to the t-KPSV, our curve revealed different variation patterns both in declination and inclination. On the other hand, KPSV0.6k and global geomagnetic prediction models (ARCH3K.1, CALS3K.4, and SED3K.1) revealed consistent variation trends during the first six centennials. In particular, the ARCH3K.1 showed the best fitting with our KPSV0.6k. These results indicate that contribution of the non-dipole field to Korea and Japan is quite different, despite their geographical proximity. Moreover, the compilation of archeomagnetic data from the Korea territory is essential to build a reliable PSV curve for an age dating tool. Lastly, we double-check the reliability of our KPSV0.6k by showing a good fitting of newly acquired age-controlled archeomagnetic data on our curve.

지구 자기장의 고영년변화(PSV)를 이용하면 시대 미상의 고고학적 유적에 대한 연대측정이 가능하며, 이를 고고지자기 연대측정 기법이라 한다. 고고지자기 연대측정을 위해서는 비쌍극자기장을 반영하는 그 지역의 PSV 모델이 필요하다. 그동안 국내에서는 자료의 부족으로 시험적 한반도 영년변화 곡선(t-KPSV)을 사용하였으나, 이는 서남 일본의 영년변화(JPSV)로부터 수학적인 계산을 사용한 곡선이므로, 비쌍극자기장의 영향을 고려하지 못하여 신뢰성이 부족하다. 이번 연구는 그동안 한반도에서 수행된 고고지자기학적 연구 결과와 이미 발표되어 신뢰할 수 있는 연구 자료를 바탕으로 한반도 삼국 시대(원삼국 시대 포함)에 해당하는 AD 1~600년 동안의 PSV를 분석하여 곡선을 제시하였다. 제시된 PSV 곡선은 전 지구적 지자기 예측 모델과 비교 분석하였으며, 시험적 한반도 고영년변화(t-KPSV) 곡선과도 비교하였다. 선별된 고고지자기 방향 자료는 시료 수(N) ≥ 6개와 높은 신뢰도를 보이는 통계자료(α95 ≤ 7.8°, k ≥ 57.8)를 보였으며, 전국의 16개 지역에서 총 49개의 자료로 구성된다. 수집한 자료의 고고학적 연대는 방사성 탄소연대측정 결과와 고고학적 편년을 사용하였고, 연대 오차는 ±200년 이하의 기준으로 선별하였다. 선별된 자료들은 편각 341.7~20.1°, 복각 43.5~60.3°의 범위에 분포하며, 이동창문기법(moving window method)을 사용하여 과거 600년간 한반도 PSV 곡선인 KPSV0.6k를 제시하였다. 제시된 모델은 기존의 t-KPSV 곡선과 차이를 보이며, 전 지구적 지자기 모델(ARCH3K.1, CALS3K.4, SED3K.1)에 대비한 결과, 모델들과 방향의 변화 경향이 일치하였으며, 특히 ARCH3K.1 모델이 본 연구에서 제시한 KPSV0.6k와 가장 잘 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 한국과 일본이 지리적으로는 근접해 있으나 비쌍극자기장 영향이 매우 다르게 나타나며, 따라서 이러한 영향이 고려된 전 지구적 모델이 한반도의 영년변화를 보다 잘 나타낼 수 있는 것으로 해석된다. 따라서 고고지자기 연대측정을 위해서 독자적 영년변화 곡선 구축이 필요하며, 보다 정교한 전 지구적 모델을 위해 보다 많은 신뢰성 높은 한반도의 고고지자기 자료 확보가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 실제 고고학적 유적지를 대상으로 실시한 고고지자기 연대측정 결과, KPSV0.6k와 ARCH3K.1 모델에선 고고학적 편년과 일치하는 연대를 제시하였다.
