Abstract
Cultural samples such as bronze objects and glass beads excavated at the HWANG RYONGSA Temple Site (6th century, Silla Dynasty) were analyzed for their major chemical components by means of atomic absorption spectrometry. Bronze samples contained trace amounts of zinc; whereas, appreciable amounts of zinc were found in the contemporary Korean bronze samples excavated at nearby King's tombs. Magatama-shaped glass beads showed high contents of silica (50-60%) and 13-14% sodium oxide, comparable with those of glass beads of the Kofun period excavatcd in Japan. Lead glass samples which contained silica (23-60%) and lead oxide (42-76%) were found at the temple site. Wooden pieces were identified in regard to origins. Soil samples were treated for identifying pollen. -- AATA
