SEOUL, April 7 (Yonhap) -- Archaeologists have identified 39 tombs from the Bronze Age at a planned site for the construction of an apartment in Seonji-ri, Juchon-myeon, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, the city of Gimhae said on the 7th.

These tombs were found at the top and foot of the hill.

Thirteen of the tombs were dolmens that separated the boundary of the tombs with stones.

The relics were red earthenware, grinded stone knives, arrowheads, and spears, which seems to have been made during the late Bronze Age.
