#131, 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.

这件陶碗是麦克谢里遗址（McSherry site，亦称麦克谢里废墟）第三风格的典型标本。麦克谢里遗址坐落于美国新墨西哥州格兰特县明布雷斯河中游河谷的南恩牧场遗址（NAN Ranch ruin）附近。该遗址至少存有两处经典明布雷斯文化（Classic Mimbres，约公元1000年至1130年）的房址群，曾遭盗墓者严重破坏。遗址还毗邻一处布莱克山期（Black Mountain phase，约公元1200年至1300年）的普韦布洛（pueblo）村落，出土陶瓷器表明此地更早存在扁坑屋时期（Pithouse period）的人类活动遗存。哈里·谢弗（Harry Shafer）博士于1981年在麦克谢里遗址开展了初步考古发掘，并在后续进行了地表采集工作。谢弗发掘所获的文物现由西新墨西哥州立大学（Western New Mexico State University）收藏保管。
