#2410, Style III Bowl from Swarts

This 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).这件陶碗是斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin）第三风格的典型标本。斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin，亦有拼写为Swartz Ruin）是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，于20世纪20年代由H.S.科斯格罗夫与C.B.科斯格罗夫主持发掘。该遗址的年代约为公元950年至1175年，遗存相对未受扰动，包含多座坑式住宅遗迹、多处典型明布雷斯房址群，以及大量陶瓷器、石器与动物骨骼遗存。发掘结束后一段时间，该遗址被夷平。科斯格罗夫夫妇发掘出土的文物、照片与田野记录，现收藏于哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）。斯瓦茨遗址作为明布雷斯遗址的典型代表，被布罗迪有关明布雷斯陶器的专著（1977、2002年，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）所论述。该遗址的综合发掘报告（科斯格罗夫夫妇，1932年）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
