#3083, uncertain Bowl from Galaz

This Bowl is an example of uncertain from the Galaz Ruin site. Galaz ruin (sometimes known as Galaz Ruin) is a Mimbres village in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico, occupied from A.D. 550 to 1350. Galaz was one of the largest villages occupied during Mimbres Classic times (A.D. 1000-1130), and it also contained numerous pithouses and a Postclassic settlement, as well as a large assemblage of ceramics, lithics, and faunal material. Originally excavated in the 1920s and 1930s by the Southwest Museum of Los Angeles and the University of Minnesota, it became a point of controversy regarding looting in the 1970s and was eventually bulldozed out of existence. Before Galaz was destroyed in the 1970s, the Mimbres Foundation conducted extensive excavations and produced a comprehensive report (Anyon and LeBlanc 1984, http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b2037447~S3).此件陶碗为加拉兹遗址（Galaz Ruin）出土的一件存疑标本。加拉兹遗址（有时亦称Galaz Ruin）是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落，其存续年代为公元550年至1350年。加拉兹遗址是明布雷斯文化经典期（公元1000年至1130年）规模最大的定居村落之一，遗址内不仅发现了大量地穴房屋，还包含一处后经典期聚落，以及大批陶瓷器、石质遗物与动物遗存。该遗址最初于20世纪20至30年代由洛杉矶西南博物馆与明尼苏达大学联合发掘，1970年代因盗掘问题引发争议，最终被推土机推平不复存在。在加拉兹遗址于1970年代被毁前，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）曾对其开展过大规模发掘，并完成了一份详尽的考古报告（Anyon与LeBlanc，1984年，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b2037447~S3）。
