Gamtaebawi Quarry

Hwasun County, Korea

The Gamtaebawi rock formation, which is seen in its entirely in this photo, is really just a small part of the Hwasun quarry. It is not at all typical of the outcrop from which the Hwasun dolmens were carved, but it does give lots of evidence as to how the stone was worked and removed: burning, chipping, digging, smashing, and cutting.
