#1326, uncertain Bowl from Mattocks

This Bowl is an example of uncertain from the Mattocks site, a Mimbres village in the middle Mimbres Valley, in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico. Mattocks was occupied during the Late Pithouse and Classic Mimbres periods (ca. AD 550-1130). It has eight Classic roomblocks with a total of about 180 rooms. Mattocks was partly excavated by Paul Nesbitt (Logan Museum, Beloit College) in 1929. Then, in the 1970s, it was a key focus of research by the Mimbres Foundation (LeBlanc 1983: Chapter 8, http://library.lib.asu.edu/search~S3?/aLeBlanc%2C+Steven/aleblanc+steven/1%2C2%2C16%2CB/frameset&FF=aleblanc+steven+a&9%2C%2C15), and much of the material from that work is at the Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico. Archaeology Southwest now has the easement for the Mattocks site in perpetuity.这件陶碗是马特克斯遗址（Mattocks Site）出土的一件归属存疑的器物，该遗址是明布雷斯（Mimbres）文化村落，坐落于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县境内的明布雷斯河谷中部。该遗址的使用时期涵盖晚坑屋期（Late Pithouse Period）与经典明布雷斯时期（Classic Mimbres Period），年代约为公元550年至1130年。遗址内现存8处经典明布雷斯时期的连片房区（roomblocks），总计约180间房屋。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆，Logan Museum, Beloit College）对该遗址进行了部分考古发掘。20世纪70年代，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将该遗址作为核心研究对象（相关研究详见勒布朗1983年：第8章，http://library.lib.asu.edu/search~S3?/aLeBlanc%2C+Steven/aleblanc+steven/1%2C2%2C16%2CB/frameset&FF=aleblanc+steven+a&9%2C%2C15），此次研究出土的大量文物现收藏于新墨西哥大学麦克斯韦博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。目前，西南考古学会（Archaeology Southwest）已获得该遗址的永久保护地役权。
