Photo 1The Upper Xiajiadian culture refers to a prehistoric Bronze Age culture that developed most in southeastern inner Mongolia and northern China. The remains of the Upper Xiajiandian culture are of extreme importance to the research of the origin of early nomadic economy and civilization on horseback in the northern region, for they provide clues to understanding the shared history and culture of 'Northeast Asia' from a time when it existed above the country level long before it was divided into Korea, China, Japan, and Mongolia as we know them by their current boundaries. Significantly, they also allow us to understand the region where Gojoseon was active and flourishing on the basis of the Bronze Age culture in Korean history.
