Goguryeo remnants found in east Russia. by bat400 on Friday, 25 September 2009

Remnants that are believed to be from Korea’s ancient Goguryeo Kingdom (37 BC-668) have been discovered for the first time in the far eastern part of Russia, from the excavation site of Kraskino fortress near the Posiet Bay close to Tumen River.

While records in various old documents show that some parts of Russia’s far eastern region including the Primorsky Territory had been under Goguryeo rule, there has never been an archeological discovery proving it.

According to a report in The Korea Herald, the 20-day excavation was conducted jointly by the Northeast Asian History Foundation and Pukyong National University of Korea with the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The relics include earthenware steamer, fragments of ceramic ware, belts, farming utensils, tiled kiln and others from a total of five sites, two of which looked to have been residential areas and three that could have been market places.
