Studies on Joseon Dynasty dwellings thus far have been mostly limited to its early period, and consist of mere inferences in terms of type classification and the identification of characteristics. The cause of such limitations can be found in the lack of settlement excavations dating to the Joseon Dynasty. However, late Joseon Dynasty settlement excavations has recently increased in the southern Gyeonggi region, which allows for detailed examinations of late Joseon Dynasty dwellings. This study aims to look into several issues regarding the architectural methods of construction, wall structures, and the superstructures of dwellings. By considering archaeological characteristics in addition to folk data, this study attempts to escape from the preconception of late Joseon Dynasty dwellings as only having pit-type + dugout structures, leaving the door open for new possibilities. Therefore, regarding the late Joseon Dynasty dwelling structures that were blindly accepted as having pit-type + dugout structures, several issues that led to strong doubts were examined in detail. First, by restoring the old ground surface through data related to storage pits and outdoor cooking facilities of late Joseon Dynasty dwellings, it was determined that the possibility of above-ground or in-ground constructions was relatively high. An attempt to strengthen the persuasive power of this suggestion was made by analyzing the overlapping relationships of the same types of dwellings. Regarding the wall structure and superstructure, the basic facilities of dwellings confirmed at certain ancient sites were referenced to form an understanding of wall structure facilities, such as mud or soil-stone walls, and the possibility that walled houses were constructed using beams, girders and rafters was suggested. An attempt to prove such a theory was made by utilizing the cases of late Joseon Dynasty sites featuring the remains of wall structure facilities. In addition, the results of the analysis of excavated artifacts revealed the presence of items such as iron doorknobs, hinges, locks and bronze keys that are associated with wooden structures with proper superstructures, furniture, and ornaments. These findings greatly increased the possibility of that such wooden structures with proper superstructures may have existed. Lastly, this study attempted to look into similar construction methods of the time by extracting folk cases and photographic data from the late Joseon Dynasty and the modern era, and they were all sufficiently useful in allowing inferences on the architectural methods, wall structures and superstructures of late Joseon Dynasty dwellings to take place.
