#953, Style III Bowl from Pruitt

This Bowl is an example of Style III from the Pruitt Ranch site (sometimes known as the Pruitt site, Pruitt Upton Ranch site, Gorman Ranch site, and Upton-Tigner site). The Pruitt Ranch 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.本陶碗为普鲁特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch site）第三风格器物的实例，该遗址亦被称为普鲁特遗址、普鲁特-厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址以及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址。普鲁特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯（Mimbres）文化村落，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县边界。该遗址的年代测定为公元550年至1130年，同时包含晚坑屋期与古典期两类遗存。西蒙斯家族近期已将普鲁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·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼奇与理查德·艾斯勒在内的当地居民曾在该遗址开展大规模发掘工作。坦尼奇所获的部分陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆与圣路易斯艺术博物馆。另有大量出自普鲁特遗址的陶碗收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏机构中。该遗址的专业考古发掘工作相对匮乏。德雷尔·克里尔（得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）已针对该遗址开展了测绘工作。
