36 김이석, 오창석, 김명주, 기호철, 홍지윤, 김시덕, 신동훈 뼈에남은톱질자국이사망전후에만들어졌다면유월장풍습에의해회곽묘에매장되기까지기간에이루어졌을가능성이크다고하겠다. 한편일본에는에도시대의형법중에노코기리비키 ( 鋸挽 ) 라고부르는형벌이있었는데이는톱질과관련된형벌이라는점에서본논문의주제가되는사례와관련하여살펴볼만하다. 즉, 에도시대형법상주인을죽이는경우와같이계급적질서를위협하는반유교적범죄를저지른경우이형벌에처하게되는데기본적으로사형의한종류에속한다. 이형벌을시행한방법을보면수형자를작은상자에넣고머리만밖으로빼내게한후희망자에게대나무톱으로한번씩이를썰어숨을끊게하는방법의처형이었다고한다. 이는실제로전국시대에는많이시행되었으나에도시대에들어서는사람들사이에혐오스럽게여겨져거의시행되지않았고다만수형자에대나무톱으로어깨나목에상처를내어그피를톱에바르는식의의례적인형식으로바뀌었다고한다. 수형자는이틀간방치하여구경시킨뒤십자가에매달고양쪽배를창으로수십번찔러목숨을끊었다고한다 [9]. 구체적으로어떤연고로이기간사이에톱질흔이만들어졌을까를추측해본다면, 피장자에대한원한이나범죄로인한훼손일가능성, 피장자를위해준비한관이짧아불경스러운방법으로몰래염습하려했을가능성등을생각해볼수있겠지만가능성이크게높지는않아보인다. 피장자가아직살아있을때치료목적으로다리에어떤외과적시술과정이가해졌을가능성이나형벌로톱질을다리에가했을가능성역시생각해볼수있겠지만이역시조선시대문헌고찰로는유사한경우를찾아볼수없어그가능성은극히낮다고판단된다. 불의의사고로아랫부분이처참하게손상되어사망한후오히려단정하게하여매장하려는경우도상정해볼수있겠는데이경우는다리뼈가완전히절단된것이아니고톱질흔아래쪽은정상적으로남아있는상태여서역시전혀가능성이없다. 따라서조선시대문헌을역사학적으로고찰할때에도유례를찾아보기힘든매우희귀한소견이법의인류학적으로확인되었다고할수있겠다. 결론적으로본사례는회곽묘의유골이육탈된후따로뼈만추려매장한 2 차매장이아니라매장후발굴까지그대로보존된경우라는점은현장에서확인된정황증거로의심의여지가없다고판단하였고피장자는회곽묘에입관된후에는밀봉된무덤안에서자연 스러운부패과정에따라백골화가진행된상황으로판단되었기때문에정강뼈에서확인된톱질흔은현재로서는불분명한어떤원인에의해사망전후한시기에만들어진것으로판단하였다. 지금까지고고학적사례에대해서유사한법의인류학적연구에대한보고가국내에서매우희귀하였으므로추가적인고찰이힘든상황이나향후관련보고의증가여부에따라서는조선시대뼈에이러한톱질흔이남겨진원인에대해서다시한번학술적으로살펴볼기회가주어질것이라믿는다. 참고문헌 1.

The coffin of LSMB was surrounded by hard concrete barriers, being successfully protected from outside invasions until the archaeological excavation begins. The human remains were extremely preserved well, providing important information on the health and illness of the people of Joseon dynasty. Recent investigation into human skeletons from LSMB in Yong-in city was another forensic anthropological case that was very meaningful to our research. During the examination on the elderly Joseon female bones, we discovered unusual saw-marks on the shaft of both tibiae. We could not find any osteological evidences suggestive of healed bone process. Considering archaeological and anthropological findings altogether, the occurrence time of saw-marks was considered to be perimortem period. However, as for why such a saw mark was made on the tibiae, we did not get any information about it. We expect that this report facilitate other researcher to do explore the usefulness of forensic anthropology examination on the similar human skeleton cases identified in various archaeological ruins.
