Gangjingun Kiln Sites, Archaeological kiln complex in Gangjin County, South Korea
The Gangjingun site contains 188 ancient kilns spread across multiple regions including Yongunni, Gyeyulli, Sadangni, and Sudongni in South Jeolla Province.
From the 10th to 14th centuries during the Goryeo Dynasty, these kilns produced refined celadon pottery that was distributed throughout Korea and exported to China and Japan.
The kilns at Gangjingun contributed to the development of Korean celadon ware, characterized by its green glaze and detailed inlay techniques that influenced Asian ceramics.
The National Museum of Korea displays a restored kiln from the excavations, while the Goryeo Celadon Museum in Gangjin exhibits artifacts and historical information about the site.
The site's location near the sea with mountains to the north provided essential raw materials such as kaolinite and silicon dioxide for pottery production.
