Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Korea

Ancient village or settlement in South Korea. Amsa-dong site is a Neolithic village was swallowed by a flood and discovered after another flood in 1925.
Once it seems to have been a popular entertainment park for Seoul citizen but the maintenance budget seems to have reduced. The main facilities (=the museum of the artifacts and the time-tunnel pavilion) are closed and the replicas of the bronze age dolmens, the symbol of Korean prehistory but no relation with this neolithic site, were removed. Only reconstructed houses with neolithic mannequins and an experience studio remain. Now the admission is free but you have to get a free ticket at the entrance office.
