#278, 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（Bowl）是普鲁伊特牧场遗址（该遗址又称普鲁伊特遗址、普鲁伊特-厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址）的第三风格典型标本。普鲁伊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交界地带。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年，同时包含晚期穴居期与古典期文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近期将普鲁伊特牧场遗址捐赠给了考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩博士及其家人、V·F·坦尼奇、理查德·艾瑟尔在内的当地居民对该遗址开展了大规模发掘工作。坦尼奇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大量陶碗则散落于其他博物馆及私人收藏中。目前该遗址经专业发掘的区域相对有限。达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校）曾主持该遗址的测绘工作。
