#10288, Bowl from Pruitt

This Bowl is an example of an unknown Mimbres style 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.

这件陶碗是新墨西哥州西南部普鲁伊特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch site）出土的不明明布雷斯风格（Mimbres style）器物示例，该遗址有时也被称为普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址以及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址。普鲁伊特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯村落，横跨新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县与卢纳县的县界。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年之间，同时包含晚期皮托瑟时期（Late Pithouse）与古典时期（Classic period）的文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近期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过大规模发掘。坦尼奇所获的部分陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆与圣路易斯艺术博物馆。另有多件出自普鲁伊特遗址的陶碗收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏中。目前该遗址的专业考古发掘工作仍相对较少，得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。
