Woncheon-ri relics refers to artifacts from the Bronze Age to the Three Kingdoms Period. The discovery of the Bronze Age artifacts includes about 30 ground plots, 1 stone-coffin tomb, and the excavation of the Iron Age through the Three Kingdoms Period artifacts include about 11 ground pots, 1 ditch hole, and more than 100 Suh-Hyeol(s) (holes lowered down from the surface of ground). The most important feature of Woncheon-ri relics is that the relics tell the sphere of Baekje's Eastern territories since the ancient country set up its capital in the area where Seoul is located. The ground plots had a wood-burning stove inside, and various kinds of earthenware, ironware, and jewelry (for decoration) were excavated. Particularly earthenware in Baekje style and big jars available to store food were excavated. For tools made of steel, various kinds of weapons and farming utensils were excavated. Particularly in weapons, various kinds of arrowhead, spear and its accessories, three-pronged forks were excavated. Stirrup (foot rest), horse bit, horse and armor used by a cavalry soldier were discovered and various kinds of hoes, U-shaped blade of spade, sickle, and other farming utensils were excavated. Besides, golden earrings, glass beads, and dangling jade made of stone were excavated from the ground plots. Like this, the excavation of various weapons and accessories from Woncheon-ri relics suggests that this historic site is a different area from the village where ordinary people had lived then.
