Sinan Dochang-ri Ancient Tomb

This is a Baekje stone-chamber tomb with a burial chamber and an entrance passage, discovered while a reading hall was being built in Dochang-ri village, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do. The ceiling is of the 'bent' type: large slab stones were set up for the walls, corbel stones were then laid above them to narrow the space, and the whole was capped with a ceiling stone. This style of tomb was used for burials of the ruling class from the mid-7th century, after Baekje moved its capital to Buyeo, until the fall of the kingdom. The Dochang-ri tomb in Sinan is the only example of its kind found in the Jeollanam-do region, making it important material for the study of Baekje tombs in this area.
