There are two known major groups of earthenware and celadon kiln sites from the Goryeo period: those in Gangjin County and more in Buan County. Across these two areas, around 400 kiln sites have been discovered.[3]
The Yucheon-ri kilns date to the 11th to 14th centuries. Numerous pieces of celadon pottery and ceramics have been recovered from the site.[1]
