Shell Mound in Dongsam-dong, Busan
Shell Mound in Dongsam-dong, Busan is located on the west coast of Yeong-do Island in Dongsam-dong, Yeongdo District, Busan, South Korea. This archaeological site consists of a midden of shells of various mollusc taxa that were discarded in a relatively small or restricted area by people who lived there in the Jeulmun pottery period. It was excavated three times by archaeologists of the National Museum of Korea from 1969 and was found to be among the oldest Jeulmun middens so far discovered in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
