Unmun also represents a landscape indicator species for Daegu and Gyeongbuk provinces, and Luciola lateralis Motschulsky, which is the object of experiential activation at festivals in some cities in the region. The spatial range of this study is limited by Daegu City and Gyeongbuk province, and is used to predict the preference of firefly for altitude, slope, direction, shaded relief, riparian buffer zone, river environment, and farmland to analyze the area that best matches the habitat of fireflies. As a result, fireflies are highly influenced by altitude and there may be no large-scale habitats in some areas through the Nakdong and the Baekdu mountain ranges, which occur at high altitude. In most of the cities, we found major habitats around the streams and wetlands. By region, the sites were widely distributed around the cities focused on Nakdong River, and many habitats emerged around the Nakdong River tributary and gentle slopes.

  • Glass Along the Silk Road in the First Millennium AD1
    Archaeologia Polona, vol. 55 : 2017, 161 – 188 PL ISSN 0066 - 5924 Glass along the Silk Road in the first millennium AD1 Marta Żuchowskaa, Bartłomiej Sz. Szmoniewskib The so-called Silk Road routes of the st1 millennium AD promoted the spread of ideas and artistic trends, advanced technology, arms, horse harness etc. Glass had played an important role in the exchange network between the West and the East as well as South and North ever since antiquity. Most of the archaeological glass (vessels, personal ornaments) from the Eastern end of the Silk Road (China, Korea) comes from ‘special’ places, such as elite burials and Buddhist temples. Their importance for ancient Chinese and Korean societies, where precious stones, bronzes and porcelains played a significant role, remains an open issue. The origin of glass artifacts found along the Silk Road, particularly in China and Korea, is still debatable. Transparent glass vessels unearthed in China are rare, usually interpreted as Western imports, proving trade relations along the so-called Silk Roads. Most of them come from elite graves, while others were deposited in temple treasuries, like the famous treasure from Famen Si (Shaanxi province). In both instances, the suggestion is that objects of this kind were valuable and highly appreciated, thus probably quite rare in China. The latest studies, especially laboratory analyses, have thrown new light on the origin of the glass finds from China, raising at the same time multiple issues concerning their cultural and social context. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the chronological and geographical distribution of Western-related glass vessels within the present territory of the Peo- ples Republic of China, as well as Korea and Japan, and to discuss social interactions and processes which caused these goods to reach Chinese territory and beyond.
