#3695, Style III Bowl from Mattocks

This Bowl is an example of Style III from the Mattocks site, a Mimbres village in the middle Mimbres Valley, in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico. Mattocks was occupied during the Late Pithouse and Classic Mimbres periods (ca. AD 550-1130). It has eight Classic roomblocks with a total of about 180 rooms. Mattocks was partly excavated by Paul Nesbitt (Logan Museum, Beloit College) in 1929. Then, in the 1970s, it was a key focus of research by the Mimbres Foundation (LeBlanc 1983: Chapter 8, http://library.lib.asu.edu/search~S3?/aLeBlanc%2C+Steven/aleblanc+steven/1%2C2%2C16%2CB/frameset&FF=aleblanc+steven+a&9%2C%2C15), and much of the material from that work is at the Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico. Archaeology Southwest now has the easement for the Mattocks site in perpetuity.

此陶碗为马特克斯遗址（Mattocks site）第三风格器物的典型代表，该遗址是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县米姆布雷斯河谷中段的一处米姆布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址。马特克斯遗址的人类活动年代涵盖晚期坑房期（Late Pithouse）与经典米姆布雷斯文化期（Classic Mimbres periods），约为公元550年至1130年。该遗址包含8处经典时期房址群，总计约180间房址。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（Paul Nesbitt，贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆）对该遗址进行了部分发掘。20世纪70年代，米姆布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将其作为核心研究对象（勒布朗1983：第8章，链接：http://library.lib.asu.edu/search~S3?/aLeBlanc%2C+Steven/aleblanc+steven/1%2C2%2C16%2CB/frameset&FF=aleblanc+steven+a&9%2C%2C15），此次研究获取的大量文物标本现收藏于新墨西哥大学麦克斯韦博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。目前，西南考古协会（Archaeology Southwest）永久持有马特克斯遗址的地役权。
