The ancient people of the Yeongsangang River basin developed a unique burial style known as “jar coffins” or “jar-coffin tombs,” which are distinct to this region and rarely found elsewhere. The methods for crafting these funerary vessels and the accompanying ritual processes vary significantly across different locations and time periods.
