Scientific Conservation Treatment and Restoration of the Monument for Jo Heon and the Soldiers in Chilbaeguichong (Chilbaeguichong Jungbongjoheonseonsaengilgunsunuibi)

This study was focused on conservation treatment and restoration of the monument for Jo Heon and the Soldiers in Chilbaeguichong. The monument has been ruined by bombing in the era of Japanese colonial(1940) and restored in 1971. Nevertheless, it still showed serious problems such as loss of original form, structural instability, and unnatural appearance. In order to improve its conservation state, the stele basement which was lost by bombing was restored and combined with body and top stones. The broken part of the top stone was also restored with new material through provenance interpretation.
