Abstract eng: Seoul City W was the defense facility of Hanyang, which is the present-day Seoul, and was the Capital all City of the Joseon Dynasty (1392 to 1910). It is a landmark of Seoul and has been designated as part of a tentative list of world heritage sites in 2012. Seoul City Wall was partly destroyed during modern times, but recent restoration efforts are aimed at returning it to its original condition. In this study, we investigate the material properties and interpret the provenance for partial sections of Seoul City W that are scheduled for all restoration. Our research has revealed that stones of the fortress are composed mainly of pinkish granite, reddish granite, leucocratic granite, fine-grained granite, aplite, and banded gneiss. W have carried out e provenance interpretation on the basis of old documents, geological maps, and material properties. These results will contribute to the restoration of Seoul City W all.
