#2222, 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).此陶碗为斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin）第三风格器物的典型示例。斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin，亦常称Swartz Ruin）是位于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）史前村落遗址，由H.S.科兹格罗夫与C.B.科兹格罗夫夫妇于1920年代主持发掘。该遗址的年代跨度约为公元950年至1175年，出土了大量保存相对完好的半地穴式房址遗迹与数处经典明布雷斯房区遗存，同时还包含大批陶器、石器与动物遗存标本。发掘结束后的某一时期，该遗址遭到平整。科兹格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所获的文物、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陶器遗址的典型案例，被收录于布罗迪关于明布雷斯陶器的专著（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）。该遗址的综合发掘报告（科兹格罗夫夫妇，1932）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
