A large number of roof tiles were excavated from the ancient tombs in Seokchon-dong, Seoul, the royal cemetary of Hanseong period in Baekje. The recently excavated burial ritual part of the Connected Stone-mound Tomb was concentrated with roof tiles along with cremated bones and many earthenwares. The tiles of the connected stone mound are consistent with the diversity seen in Pungnaptoseong. These contain two traditional tiles related to whether or not to use the circular frames. A number of tiles, had also been excavated in the area of Tomb No. 3 and No. 4. All of these were made using circular frames, showing differences from the previous tiles. As for the use of roof tiles excavated from the Seokchon-dong, opinions have been raised that are presumed to be used on the roof of memorial building in or on the tomb or to cover the tomb directly. However, there is a limit to the progress of research because there is insufficient evidence to prove this. It is presumed that the roof tiles excavated from the connected stone mound tombs in Seokchon-dong were used for wooden structures or buildings for cremation.
