#316, 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.本件陶碗为出自普鲁伊特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch site，亦称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特-阿普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及阿普顿-泰格纳遗址）的第三风格器物示例。普鲁伊特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯村落，坐落于美国新墨西哥州西南部，横跨格兰特县与卢纳县的县界。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古典时期的文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近期已将该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（Berry Bowen）博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼奇（V. F. Tannich）与理查德·艾瑟尔（Richard Eisele）在内的当地居民，曾在该遗址开展大规模的考古发掘工作。坦尼奇发掘获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）。另有多件出自普鲁伊特遗址的陶碗，收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏机构。该遗址的专业考古发掘工作相对匮乏。得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel）已牵头完成该遗址的测绘工作。
