The Bronze Age culture of the Incheon area has not been studied much. However, the Bronze Age culture of the area has been exposed by recent salvage excavations. Contemporarily, a number of sites were excavated and studied. The number of settlements and artifacts are relatively small, but are able to provide primary information about the Bronze Age cultures in the Incheon area. This data allows us to compare the contemporary Bronze Age cultures with that of the Midwest area of the Korean Peninsular. Bronze Age settlements, in general, were located in the upper area of the hill which was lower than 100 sea level. Settlements were also located near water sources such as streams and lakes. Settlements produced projectile points, half moon-shaped knives, and hatchets that were possibly used for both hunting and cultivating. Elongated-rectangular settlements are landmarked styles of early Bronze Age culture in this area. These particular settlements produced half-moon shaped stone knives, ground projectile points, and potteries. This data provides us primary information about environmental setting and food-product strategy. However, the functional and structural relationships between settlements and dolmen have not been studied well. Further research will provide better understanding of the Bronze Age culture of the Incheon and Midwest area.
