#139, Style III Bowl from McSherry

This Bowl is an example of Style III from the McSherry site (also known as McSherry ruin). The McSherry site is located near the NAN Ranch ruin in the middle Mimbres River Valley, Grants County, New Mexico. McSherry has at least two Classic Mimbres (ca. A.D. 1000-1130) roomblocks, which were badly damaged by looters. It also has an adjacent Black Mountain phase (ca. A.D. 1200-1300) pueblo, and ceramics suggest the presence of an earlier Pithouse period occupation. Dr. Harry Shafer conducted preliminary excavations at McSherry in 1981 and undertook subsequent surface collections. Artifacts from Shafer?s excavation are curated by the Western New Mexico State University.

本陶碗为麦克谢里遗址（McSherry Site，又称麦克谢里废墟）出土的III式风格器物范例。该遗址坐落于美国新墨西哥州格兰特县的中米姆布雷斯河谷（Middle Mimbres River Valley）地带，毗邻NAN牧场废墟（NAN Ranch Ruin）。麦克谢里遗址至少存在两处年代约为公元1000年至1130年的经典米姆布雷斯文化（Classic Mimbres Culture）房址群，曾遭盗墓者严重破坏；遗址还附带一处年代约为公元1200年至1300年的黑山期（Black Mountain Phase）普韦布洛聚落，结合出土陶瓷器可推断此地还存在更早的坑屋期（Pithouse Period）人类居住遗存。哈里·谢弗博士（Dr. Harry Shafer）于1981年在麦克谢里遗址开展初步发掘工作，并随后进行了地表采集。谢弗博士发掘出土的文物现由西新墨西哥州立大学（Western New Mexico State University）典藏管护。
