#11122, Style III bowl from Pruitt

This bowl, from the Pruitt Ranch site, is an example of Mimbres Black-on-white Style III. Pruitt Ranch (sometimes known as the Pruitt site, Pruitt Upton Ranch site, Gorman Ranch site, and Upton-Tigner 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.

这件出土自普鲁伊特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch site）的陶碗，是明布雷斯黑彩白地风格III（Mimbres Black-on-white Style III）的典型器物。普鲁伊特牧场遗址（又称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-蒂格纳遗址）是一座大型明布雷斯村落，坐落于新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县交界地带。该遗址的年代测定为公元550年至1130年，同时包含晚期坑屋期与古典期两类遗存。西蒙斯家族近期将普鲁伊特牧场遗址捐赠予考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩（Berry Bowen）博士及其家人、V. F. 塔尼奇（V. F. Tannich）与理查德·艾瑟尔（Richard Eisele）在内的当地居民曾对该遗址进行过大规模发掘。塔尼奇发掘所得的部分陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆（University of Arkansas Museum）与圣路易斯艺术博物馆（Saint Louis Art Museum）。另有大量出土自该遗址的陶碗收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏机构。目前针对该遗址的专业考古发掘工作仍相对有限。达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Texas, Austin））曾开展该遗址的测绘工作。
