#5551, Style II Bowl from Pruitt

This Bowl is an example of Style II from the Pruitt Ranch site (sometimes known as the Pruitt site, Pruitt Upton Ranch site, Gorman Ranch site, and Upton-Tigner site). The Pruitt Ranch site is a large Mimbres village that straddles the Grant-Luna county line in southwestern New Mexico. The site has been dated to between A.D. 550 and 1130 and has both Late Pithouse and Classic period components. The Simons family recently donated the Pruitt Ranch site to the Archaeological Conservancy. Local residents, including Dr. Berry Bowen and family, V. F. Tannich, and Richard Eisele dug extensively at the site in the 1920s and 1930s. Some of the pottery taken by Tannich is housed at the University of Arkansas Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Many other bowls from Pruitt reside in other museums and private collections. Relatively little professional excavation has taken place at the site. Darrell Creel (University of Texas, Austin) has undertaken mapping efforts.

此件陶碗为普鲁伊特牧场遗址（又称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特-厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-蒂格纳遗址）出土的II式风格标本。普鲁伊特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县界域。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年，同时包含晚期坑屋时期（Late Pithouse）与古典时期的文化堆积。西蒙斯家族近期已将普鲁伊特牧场遗址捐赠给考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼奇与理查德·艾瑟尔在内的当地居民曾对该遗址开展大规模发掘。坦尼奇所获的部分出土陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆与圣路易斯艺术博物馆。普鲁伊特遗址出土的其余大量陶碗则收藏于其他博物馆及私人藏品中。该遗址的专业考古发掘工作相对较少。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的达雷尔·克里尔曾主持该遗址的测绘工作。
