#1054, Style III Flower Pot Bowl from Mattocks

This Flower Pot Bowl is an example of Style III 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.这件花盆碗（Flower Pot Bowl）是新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县米姆布雷斯谷中部的明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址——马特克斯遗址（Mattocks site）出土的第三风格器物标本。马特克斯遗址的使用年代覆盖晚皮托斯时期（Late Pithouse）与经典明布雷斯时期，约为公元550年至1130年。遗址内现存8处经典房区，总计约180间房舍。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆）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）将其列为核心研究对象（勒布朗1983：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马克斯韦尔博物馆（Maxwell Museum）。目前，西南考古协会（Archaeology Southwest）永久持有马特克斯遗址的地役权。
