La chasse préhistorique à la baleine en Corée
Abstract
The site of Bangudae presents whaling scenes which suggest the Neolithic population living along the coast of Korea were among the first to take advantage of coastal whales. Archaeological evidence such as a wooden boat excavated from the Bibong-ri shell mound. and the harpooned whale bone found in another shell mound at Hwangseong-dong, are clear indications of early Neolithic whaling.
