#3705, 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.

此陶碗为马特科克斯遗址（Mattocks site）第三风格器物的典型标本，该遗址位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的中明布雷斯河谷，是一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址。马特科克斯遗址的人类活动年代涵盖晚棚屋期（Late Pithouse）与明布雷斯古典期（Classic Mimbres periods，约公元550年至1130年）。该遗址共包含8处明布雷斯古典期连片房址群，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，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将其作为核心研究对象（相关研究详见勒布朗1983年著作第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），此次研究出土的多数文物现收藏于新墨西哥大学马克斯韦尔博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。目前，西南考古协会（Archaeology Southwest）永久持有马特科克斯遗址的地役权。
