*3.1. Size of the Wounds*

The wound size was categorized into two groups. Group 1, wounded by the panel hacksaw method (G1), had wounds higher and narrower than 90 and 40 cm in height and width, respectively, whereas Group 2, wounded by the traditional chisel method (G2), comprised wounds which were

lower and wider than 90 and 40 cm in length and width, respectively (Table 2). Although HI3 had wounds narrower than 40 cm in width, it was categorized into G2 based on the height, which was the lowest height among all sites.

**Table 2.** The mean height and width with standard deviations, the mean areas (brown color) with standard deviations (dotted line), calculated from the height and width (unit: cm).

BM: Bomunsa, NS: Namsan, SN: Seoknamsa, HI: Haeinsa, NW: Namwon, AM: Anmyeondo.

The mean height and width of G1 were 104.7 ± 9.0 cm and 24.7 ± 7.0 cm, respectively, whereas the mean height and width of G2 were 20.9 ± 9.8 cm and 40.2 ± 8.1 cm, respectively. Therefore, G1 had approximately 5 times higher wound height than G2, whereas G2 had approximately 1.6 times wider width than G1. The largest wound area calculated by the highest and widest values at each wound was obtained for NW, followed by NS, SN, BM, AM1, AM2, HI1, HI2, and HI3.
