The all excavated celadon has been applied in the 1st stage. The recording chronologically has been arranged between the first half of 12 century and 13 century in light of the fact based on the antiquity of early times such as hill of solar halo sleeve are not observed and the excavation of important dishes. 2, 3 stage are the stages the grayish-blue-powered celadon are appeared 2, 3 stage. the fuselage are tingled with the form of curved important dishes, the technique of the print, the inlaid work, the paste brush, etc. are observed in the stage 2 also, the meaning of uncertain showing the engraved X letter well written of public imposts Gong letter, Kimhae Jangheung storage purpose is identified.

Also through the fact that porcelain was used as daily or grave goods, the dead were seemed to be people who had financial power or were dominant classes. Porcelain excavated from tombs seems that there are not specific ceramic culture in terms of types or malformation morphologically in Yeongnam area. However, from the cases that it was observed inscription like name of area was engraved on the white porcelain and grayish-blue-powered celadon, and gwiyal was ordered in the area near Japan, it can be estimated that there were their own base and a process of development.
