The Jeongok-ri Site is located around the Hantan River in Jeongok-ri, Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, and is a representative site of the early Paleolithic period in Korea. This site, a symbol of Korea's Paleolithic heritage, gained attention in 1977 when a U.S. soldier visiting the Hantan River recreational area discovered stone tools on the surface. The Jeongok-ri stratigraphy provides very important data for studying paleoclimate and paleoenvironment and is a geological landmark with records related to human development. In the clay layer, a soil wedge structure called soil wedge cracking phenomenon is observed, presumed to have formed in the Ice Age, and is an important resource for paleoclimate research. Additionally, volcanic ash (Tephra) carried by the wind from Japan was found in the stratigraphy, revealing that the upper layers were deposited about 20,000 to 100,000 years ago. Thus, the Jeongok-ri stratigraphy is archaeologically significant and is a crucial geological site for studying paleoclimate. (Source: Hantan River Geopark website)
