Ceramic: Chaco-McElmo Black-on-white, bowl, AZRU-00001/827

Chaco-McElmo Black-on-white, bowl, Accession AZRU-00001, Catalog #827, Morris FS 4274. Analyzed by Lori Reed 2006. Temper is sand and sherd, but based on paste and slip textures the bowl may have been manufactured at Aztec. Bowl is 99% complete with minimal reconstruction with unknown plaster material. Measurements: 22.5 cm orifice diameter, 8.5 cm height. Image AZRU1-825 A: oblique view of exterior showing bowl shape; note the slip-slop over exterior rim edge typical of Chaco-McElmo. Image AZRU1-824 B: closeup of interior base showing use attrition that impacted the painted design. Image AZRU1-824 C: interior view showing design. Recovered from Earl Morris excavation of Kiva Q, Aztec West Ruin. Morris (1924:257) mentions Kiva Q as a comparison to kivas in the West Ruin Annex: "Kiva A.2 is of a different type, but from its similarity to Kiva Q in the main ruin, which is of known Chaco age, it must be considered contemporaneous with Kiva A.1." No other published description of Kiva Q is available.

查科-麦克埃尔莫黑底白纹陶（Chaco-McElmo Black-on-white）碗形器物，入藏编号AZRU-00001，目录号827，编号Morris FS 4274。2006年由洛里·里德（Lori Reed）完成分析。该器物羼和料为砂与陶片，结合胎体与化妆土（slip）的质地特征，极有可能烧制于阿兹特克遗址（Aztec）。器物保存完整度达99%，仅需少量修复，所用修复石膏材料成分不明。尺寸参数：口径22.5厘米，器高8.5厘米。图片AZRU1-825 A：器物外部斜视图，呈现碗形轮廓；可见查科-麦克埃尔莫风格典型的化妆土溢流至口沿外侧的特征。图片AZRU1-824 B：器物内底特写，可见使用磨损对彩绘纹饰造成的痕迹。图片AZRU1-824 C：器物内部视图，展示完整彩绘纹饰。该器物出土于阿兹特克西遗址（Aztec West Ruin）的基瓦Q（Kiva Q）发掘坑位，由厄尔·莫里斯（Earl Morris）主持发掘。莫里斯（1924：257）曾将基瓦Q作为西遗址附属建筑基瓦的对比样本，其表述如下："基瓦A.2属于不同形制，但因它与主遗址中年代可考为查科时期的基瓦Q高度相似，故可认定其与基瓦A.1年代同期。"目前暂无其他关于基瓦Q的公开研究记载。参考文献：厄尔·莫里斯，1924年，《阿兹特克遗址墓葬》，第26卷第三分册，《美国自然历史博物馆人类学论文集》，纽约。
