#11129, Style I or Style II or Style III bowl from Pruitt

This bowl, from the Pruitt Ranch site, is an example of Mimbres Black-on-white pottery that cannot be assigned to a particular style. 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.

这件出自普鲁伊特牧场（Pruitt Ranch）遗址的陶碗，属于明布雷斯（Mimbres）白地黑彩陶器，暂无法归类至特定风格类型。普鲁伊特牧场遗址（亦称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址以及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址）是一座大型明布雷斯聚落，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县交界地带。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年之间，同时包含晚期棚屋时期与明布雷斯古典时期的文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近期已将普鲁伊特牧场遗址捐赠给考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·塔尼奇以及理查德·艾瑟尔在内的当地居民曾对该遗址进行过大规模发掘。塔尼奇所获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）。普鲁伊特牧场遗址出土的其他大量陶碗则收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏者手中。该遗址迄今开展的专业考古发掘工作相对较少。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Texas, Austin）的达雷尔·克里尔曾负责该遗址的测绘工作。
