#3204, Not Mimbres series Bowl from Galaz

This Bowl is an example of Not Mimbres series from the Galaz Ruin site. Galaz ruin (sometimes known as Galaz Ruin) is a Mimbres village in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico, occupied from A.D. 550 to 1350. Galaz was one of the largest villages occupied during Mimbres Classic times (A.D. 1000-1130), and it also contained numerous pithouses and a Postclassic settlement, as well as a large assemblage of ceramics, lithics, and faunal material. Originally excavated in the 1920s and 1930s by the Southwest Museum of Los Angeles and the University of Minnesota, it became a point of controversy regarding looting in the 1970s and was eventually bulldozed out of existence. Before Galaz was destroyed in the 1970s, the Mimbres Foundation conducted extensive excavations and produced a comprehensive report (Anyon and LeBlanc 1984, http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b2037447~S3).

这件陶碗是加拉兹遗址（Galaz Ruin）出土的非明布勒斯系列（Not Mimbres series）器物的典型示例。加拉兹遗址（有时也称作Galaz Ruin）是坐落于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的明布勒斯文化村落遗址，存续年代为公元550年至1350年。该遗址是明布勒斯古典时期（公元1000年至1130年）规模最大的定居点之一，区内不仅留存有大量半地下窖穴房与后古典时期居留遗存，还出土了数量丰富的陶瓷器、石质器物以及动物遗存。该遗址最初于20世纪20至30年代由洛杉矶西南博物馆与明尼苏达大学联合开展考古发掘，在20世纪70年代因文物盗掘问题引发争议，最终被推土机夷为平地。在加拉兹遗址于20世纪70年代被毁前，明布勒斯基金会对其实施了大规模考古发掘，并形成了一份综合性发掘报告（Anyon与LeBlanc，1984年，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b2037447~S3）。
