#11123, Style III bowl from Pruitt

This bowl, from the Pruitt Ranch site, is an example of Mimbres Black-on-white Style III. Pruitt Ranch (sometimes known as the Pruitt site, Pruitt Upton Ranch site, Gorman Ranch site, and Upton-Tigner 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.这件出自普鲁伊特牧场遗址（Pruitt Ranch Site）的陶碗，是明布雷斯（Mimbres）白地黑彩第三风格的典型器物。普鲁伊特牧场遗址（又称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址以及厄普顿-蒂格纳遗址）是一座大型明布雷斯村落，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县界域。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年之间，同时包含晚期半地穴时期与古典时期的文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近期已将普鲁伊特牧场遗址捐赠给美国考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼希与理查德·艾瑟尔在内的当地居民对该遗址进行了大规模发掘。坦尼希发掘所得的部分陶器，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）。普鲁伊特遗址出土的其余诸多陶碗，则收藏于其他博物馆与私人收藏机构中。该遗址目前仅开展过极少量专业考古发掘工作。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的达雷尔·克里尔曾负责该遗址的测绘工作。
