AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the community of Sam Jong Dong, a village in Kyongsang Namdo province in southeastern Korea. Coverage is generally well rounded throughout the source, which is divided into five major parts. Part I deals with the geography of the region and historical setting of the village, including data on the characteristics of the population. Part II is devoted primarily to village social behavior and includes data on names, social classes, politics, marriage, socialization processes, education, the daily routine of activities, and recreation. Part III centers on the religion of the village with special attention given to ethics, the ancestor cult, death and burial, shamans and geomancers. Part IV is concerned with the technological aspects of the village, especially in terms of house-type, household utensils,agricultural implements, etc. The concluding section is a brief evaluation of the preceding parts in which the author notes far more ethnographic work needs to be done to present a complete picture of the village. The appendices are especially good in this source, presenting a rich array of information on occupations, domesticated and wild plants, population statistics and a list of oriental references with commentary thereon.
