Summary

Description
English: These are sixth-century Korean mokgan (wooden tablets) excavated from Mount Seongsan Fortress, Haman, South Korea. Mokgan were used for administrative and statistical purposes when paper was unavailable. The Mount Seongsan mokgan, excavated and studied at length beginning in 2007, take up a full half of the total Korean mokgan corpus and may include the first direct attestation of the Korean language in history. These particular twenty-three tablets were found during the seventeenth round of excavations, from 2014 to 2016. See Lee, Seungjae (September 25, 2017) 木簡에 기록된 古代 韓國語 (The Old Korean Language Inscribed on Wooden Tablets), Seoul: Ilchogak ISBN: 978-89-337-0736-4. for a fuller discussion of this valuable data on Old Korean.
