This ruin is close to the ruins of the next age, the Bronze Age. This shows the close relationship between the two ages and it also provides evidence of agricultural life and this is a very important evidence for archeologists. The remains where known as the remains of the New Stone Age at 1925, when many partials of the potteries used at that time. In 1967, 1968, 1971 from 1975, and in 1983 there were investments in large scales and lots of specific evidence where found.

At that time, most people lived in small houses made by digging the ground. Because this remain locates near Hangang, fishing was the main method for people to live. This leaded them to make lots of different tools used for fishing. Also, evidence such as arrows shows that they hunted in the woods as well.
