At this point the Liaoning culture artifacts begin to disappear from the northeast China area. A new form of dagger begins to turn up on the Korean peninsula, straight and slender (Sehyungdonggeom, <a href="https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%84%B8%ED%98%95%EB%8F%99%EA%B2%80" class="extiw" title="ko:세형동검">세형동검</a>). </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tpgudehdrja.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Tpgudehdrja.jpg" decoding="async" width="52" height="200" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="52" data-file-height="200" /></a><figcaption>Sehyungdonggeom, also called Korean style dagger (Preserved in a museum in Gyeonggi.)</figcaption></figure> <p>The greatest concentration of bronze daggers is found in the <a href="/wiki/Geum_River" title="Geum River">Geum River</a> valley of <a href="/wiki/South_Chungcheong" class="mw-redirect" title="South Chungcheong">South Chungcheong</a> province. Away from this area, the daggers become progressively fewer. This appears to indicate that most daggers were produced in the Geum valley, and the other cultures of the peninsula acquired them primarily by trade. Trade also took place by sea, with artifacts from the Later Phase found in <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japanese</a> archeological sites as well. </p><p>Lee (1996) divides this phase into two distinct sections: one dating to the 3rd century BCE in which the production of slender bronze daggers predominated, and one dating to the 2nd century BCE in which daggers are often accompanied by bronze mirrors with geometric designs and halberds influenced by the Chinese <a href="/wiki/Qin_(state)" title="Qin (state)">Qin state</a>.
