Yunggimuntogi, yunggimun pottery or Deotmunitogi (덧무늬토기)[1] is the oldest type of Korean pottery.[2] The name literally means "raised-design pottery";[3] it has also been called "pre-slant earthenware".[4] Dated to circa 5,000 BCE, yunggimun pottery were flat-bottomed wares decorated with relief designs, raised horizontal lines and other impressions.[2]
This style of pottery is characterized by pinched, raised decoration, plain raised and raised and impressed lines.[3]
This style of pottery has been found in northeast Korea[3] in addition to other regions. Some sites at which yunggimun pottery have been found include Sangnodaedo(island located in Yokjimyeon Tongyeong), Osan-ri(in Sonyangmyeon, Yangyang County) and Dongsam-dong(At Yeongdo District, Busan).[5]
