#2592, 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).本陶碗为斯瓦茨废墟遗址（Swarts Ruin site）第三风格器物的示例。斯瓦茨废墟（亦称为斯沃茨废墟）是坐落于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，由H.S.科斯格罗夫与C.B.科斯格罗夫夫妇于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未受扰动的半地穴式房屋遗迹、数处经典明布雷斯风格房址群，以及数量丰富的陶器、石质制品与动物遗存。发掘工作结束后一段时间，该遗址被夷为平地。科斯格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所得的文物、照片及田野笔记，现由哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）收藏保管。布罗迪在其关于明布雷斯陶器的专著（1977年、2002年，馆藏链接：http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）中，将斯瓦茨废墟列为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例。该遗址的综合研究报告（科斯格罗夫夫妇，1932年）近期已完成再版，馆藏链接：http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3。
