Gojoseon (Hangul: 고조선; Hanja: 古朝鮮, Korean pronunciation: [kodʑosʌn]) was an ancient Korean kingdom. Go (고, 古), meaning "ancient," distinguishes it from the later Joseon Dynasty; Joseon, as it is called in contemporaneous writings, is also romanized as Chosŏn. According to the Samguk Yusa and other medieval-era records, Gojoseon is said to have been founded in 2333 BC by Dangun, who is said to be a Posterity of Heaven. Archaeological evidence of a Gojoseon-era civilization is found in the transition from the Jeulmun pottery to the Mumun pottery around 1500 BC, when groups of semi-sedentary small-scale agriculturalists occupied most of the Korean Peninsula. Local bronze production began around the 8th century BC. Based on contemporaneous written records, modern historians generally believe it developed from a loose federation into a kingdom between the 8th and 4th centuries BC. During its early phase, the capital of Gojoseon was supposedly located in Liaoning; around 400 BC, this was moved to Pyongyang, while in the south of the peninsula, the Jin state arose by the 3rd century BC. Gojoseon was collapsed by Han Dynasty of China during the Gojoseon--Han War in 108 BC, and this led to emergence of small states, which said Proto--Three Kingdoms period in Korean history. The people of Gojoseon are referred to in Chinese records as Dongyi ("eastern barbarians"). Their linguistic affiliation is uncertain. Their language was probably a predecessor of the equally prehistoric Buyeo languages, and perhaps a form of Proto-Korean. ※ Yemaek (Korean pronunciation: [jemɛk̚]) were an ethnic group who dwelt in Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula. They had ancestral ties to various Korean kingdoms including Gojoseon, Gori (고리; 藁離), Buyeo, Goguryeo, Baekje, Okjeo, Dongye, Yangmaek (양맥; 梁貊) and Sosumaek (소수맥; 小水貊), and is believed to be one of the ancient tribes that were formed into the Koreans. Ye-Maek, also known as Yemaek and Maek, is an unclassified and arguably unattested language of Manchuria and eastern Korea north of Silla in the last few centuries BCE. The Yemaek people had historical ties to later Korean kingdoms and may have been ancestral to several, such as Gojoseon; the Ye of Yemaek are reported to have been a synonym for Buyeo, and the Maek for Goguryeo. Their language may have been one of, or ancestral to, the Buyeo languages. Evidence for the language is limited to toponyms, and its existence is questionable. Attempts at recovering Yemaek words from toponyms in the Samguk Sagi historical record are disputed 한민족의 뿌리 단군조선을 찾아서 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=0300&key;=20080814.22001231106 단군조선을 찾아서 (1) 홍산의 곰 토템 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080814.22005213747 단군조선을 찾아서 (2) 뉴허량의 동이(東夷)문화 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080821.22011200843 단군조선을 찾아서 (3) 다링허에 흐르는 아사달 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080827.22006202153 단군조선을 찾아서 (4) 잠든 임둔군을 깨우다 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080903.23021211227 단군조선을 찾아서 (5) 갈석산의 선도(仙道)자취 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080910.22018205036 단군조선을 찾아서 (6) 삼좌점의 청동 고국(古國) http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080917.22018194959 단군조선을 찾아서 (7) 요하문명의 원주민 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20080924.22018211537 단군조선을 찾아서 (8) 잃어버린 사료들 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20081008.22020222718 단군조선을 찾아서 (9) 사료 찾아 일본으로 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20081015.22020211826 단군조선을 찾아서 (10) 한국사 다시 써야 한다 http://www.kookje.co.kr/news2011/asp/newsbody.asp?code=2500&key;=20081022.22018211215
