#2042, Style III Flare rim bowl from Swarts

This Flare rim bowl is an example of Style III from the Swarts Ruin site. Swarts ruin (sometimes known as Swartz ruin) is a Mimbres village in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico, excavated during the 1920s by H.S. and C.B. Cosgrove. The site dates from about A.D. 950 to 1175 and contained the relatively undisturbed remains of numerous pit houses and several Classic Mimbres roomblocks, as well as a large assemblage of ceramics, lithics, and faunal material. Sometime after the excavations, the site was leveled. Artifacts, photographs and field notes from the Cosgrove excavations are curated in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. Swarts is described as an example Mimbres site in Brody?s books on Mimbres pottery (1977, 2002 http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3). A comprehensive report on the site (Cosgrove and Cosgrove 1932) has recently been reprinted (http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3).此折沿碗（flare rim bowl）为斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin，亦作Swartz Ruin）第三风格器物的代表性标本。斯瓦茨遗址是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，1920年代由H.S.科思格罗夫与C.B.科思格罗夫夫妇主持发掘。该遗址的年代跨度约为公元950年至1175年，遗迹保存状况相对完好，包含大量半地穴式住宅遗存、数处经典明布雷斯房址群，同时出土了数量庞大的陶瓷器、石质遗物与动物遗存。发掘结束后的某一时期，该遗址遭到平整。科思格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所获文物、照片及田野记录，现由哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）收藏保管。布罗迪（Brody）在其关于明布雷斯陶瓷的著作（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）中，将斯瓦茨遗址列为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例。该遗址的综合发掘报告（科思格罗夫夫妇，1932）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
