On the Korean Peninsula, the Bronze Age was started around 1,000 BC. At that time, people started farming in earnest and forming villages. The site in Songguk-ri, Buyeo is one representing the mid-Bronze Age on the Korean Peninsula. The village was encircled by fence. House sites, stone-coffin tombs, and jar-coffin tombs were found in the village. Various stoneware, pottery, and bronze objects, carbonized rice, etc. were unearthed. A term Songgukri-type culture is used to refer to Bronze-Age culture with unique sites and relics found in the site in Songguk-ri. Songgukri-type culture features farming life centered around rice farming. Sites associated with the said type of culture are concentrated in Chungnam Province. It is presumed that the said culture was first formed in Chungnam Province and spread to the south. Unique-looking plain pottery was unearthed from the village and came to be called Songgukri-type pottery. Unlike its cousins found elsewhere, Songgukri-type pottery features the mouth slightly extending outward, the bulging mid-section, and very small bottom. Pottery was used as household goods and jar coffins. Many pottery used as jar coffins display holes made in the bottom.
