Language told a story, until it stopped at Shill a. Soil took us back to Liaoning, and left us wondering what Liaoning has to do with Koreans . To tell the remainder of the " Korean " story, we need to take out another tool from our toolbox:  Stuff. The things people left us. The funny thing about telling a story with Stuff is, it really has a horrible openning. Not that there's anything particularly bad about Korea, and Korean stuff, but because for most of our history we really didn't have that much stuff. No one did. So if the history of Koreans were a movie, in the first 90% of it, barely anything happened: People hunted game. Gathered food. Slept. That's it. Oh yeah, and as we've just seen, they moved .  They moved a lot. They moved so much, and left so little behind, that no on...
