Amsa-dong is a dong, neighbourhood of Gangdong-gu in Seoul, South Korea.[1][2] The dong is well-known for the Amsa-dong Preshistoric Settlement Site in which Neolithic remains were excavated after a large number of diagonal-line patterned earthenware underneath the earth were accidentally uncovered by a flood in 1925.[3][4]
