#3260, Style III Bowl from Galaz

This Bowl is an example of Style III 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).

此碗为加拉兹遗址（Galaz Ruin）第三风格器物的典型示例。加拉兹遗址（亦称Galaz Ruin）是坐落于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的明布雷斯（Mimbres）古村落，其存续年代为公元550年至1350年。加拉兹遗址是明布雷斯古典时期（公元1000年至1130年）规模最大的定居村落之一，遗址内留存有大量半地穴房屋、后古典期聚落遗迹，以及丰富的陶瓷器、石质遗物与动物遗存。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发掘，1970年代因盗掘问题引发广泛争议，最终被推平损毁。在1970年代加拉兹遗址被毁前，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）曾对其开展大规模考古发掘，并形成了一份详尽的考古报告（Anyon与LeBlanc，1984年，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b2037447~S3）。
