#859, 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.这件陶碗是普鲁特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch site）第三风格类别的典型器物，该遗址另有普鲁特遗址、普鲁特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-蒂格纳遗址等别称。普鲁特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县县界。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年之间，文化堆积同时涵盖晚期棚屋期（Late Pithouse）与古典期（Classic period）两个阶段。西蒙斯家族近日将普鲁特牧场遗址捐赠给了美国考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20年代至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼奇与理查德·艾瑟尔在内的当地居民，曾对该遗址开展大规模发掘。坦尼奇带出的部分陶器，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）。其余诸多出土自普鲁特遗址的陶碗，现收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏体系中。该遗址目前仅开展过极少量的专业考古发掘工作。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Texas, Austin）的达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel）曾负责该遗址的测绘工作。
