The decade of the 1740s in archaeology involved some significant events.
Explorations
Excavations
1748:
Jeong Ji-hae, a
Yangban and father of the Governor of
Jinju, excavates six
Goryeo Dynasty (AD 918-1392) tombs of individuals whom Jeong thought may have been his ancestors, and thus becomes the first archaeologist in
Korea.
1743: The
Papenbroek Collection is bequeathed to
Leiden University, comprising about 150 antiquities. It is put on public display and published in 1746, but poorly cared for until it gets an official curator, half a century later.[7]
