Changwon Sangnamji Stone Tomb

Changwon Sangnamji Stone Tomb is a dolmen in Sangnam-dong, Seongsan District, Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.

The Bronze Age tomb was excavated in December 1997 by the Gyeongnam National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage. It has a distinctive structure consisting of a deep stone coffin, smaller stones and large capstones, and additional supporting and covering stones.

The tomb is regarded as one of South Korea’s representative southern-style dolmens, together with the Changwon Deokcheon-ri Stone Tomb. Its large capstone, about 270 by 185 by 190 centimetres, gives the burial chamber a solemn appearance, and it is thought to have been the tomb of a leading local figure.

The site was designated Gyeongsangnam-do Memorial No. 224 on 31 January 2000. In April 2001, ahead of development of the surrounding commercial area, one dolmen and one stone-coffin tomb were moved to their present location and restored to their original form.

The tomb is generally dated from around 700 BCE to 300 BCE, based on its form.
