Collection of prehistory of the Amsa Prehistoric Museum, Neolithic archaeological site in Amsa-dong, South Korea

The Amsa Prehistoric Museum displays multiple excavated artifacts including stone tools, pottery fragments, and fishing equipment from ancient settlements near the Han River.

Following its discovery in 1925 during a flood, the site underwent several excavations between 1967 and 1975, revealing thirty pit houses from different historical periods.

The museum exhibits demonstrate the progression of early Korean civilization through authentic tools, weapons, and household items dating back 6,000 years.

The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with admission fees of 500 KRW for adults and 300 KRW for youth aged 7-18.

Visitors can examine preserved carbonized acorns and original fishing net weights that provide direct evidence of prehistoric dietary patterns in the region.
