#6004, 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.

本陶碗为马特克斯遗址（Mattocks site）出土的第三类风格器物，该遗址位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的明布雷斯河谷中段，是一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）古村落。马特克斯遗址的人类活动时段覆盖晚棚屋期与经典明布雷斯时期（约公元550年至1130年），遗址内现存8处经典居室群，总计约180间居室。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（Paul Nesbitt，贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆（Logan Museum, Beloit College））对该遗址进行了部分考古发掘。20世纪70年代，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将其作为核心研究对象（LeBlanc 1983：第8章，http://library.lib.asu.edu/search~S3?/aLeBlanc%2C+Steven/aleblanc+steven/1%2C2%2C16%2CB/frameset&FF=aleblanc+steven+a&9%2C%2C15），此次研究出土的大量文物现收藏于新墨西哥大学麦克斯韦博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。如今，西南考古学会（Archaeology Southwest）永久持有马特克斯遗址的保护地役权。
