Dongsam-dong Shell Midden

Coastal shell midden on Yeong-do Island in Busan, South Korea, among the oldest Jeulmun-culture sites known on the southern Korean peninsula. Appliqué-pattern (Yunggimun) pottery places the earliest layers around 8000-7000 BP, with later occupation continuing through the Middle (c. 3500 BCE) and Late (c. 2000 BCE) Jeulmun sub-periods. Excavated repeatedly by the National Museum of Korea from 1969 onward, yielding pottery, tools and shellfish/animal remains built up over a restricted midden area. Designated a Historic Site of South Korea in 1979; a museum now stands over part of the site.
