#2163, Style III Flare rim bowl from Swarts

This Flare rim 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).这件折沿碗（flare rim bowl）是斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin）出土的III式风格器物的典型代表。斯瓦茨遗址（亦常称斯沃茨遗址）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）村落遗址，由H.S.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，遗存包含大量保存相对完好的半地穴式住房遗迹、多处经典明布雷斯式房址集群，以及数量丰富的陶器、石器与动物遗存。发掘结束后一段时间，该遗址被夷平。科斯格罗夫夫妇发掘出土的文物、照片与田野记录，现典藏于哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University）。布罗迪在其关于明布雷斯陶器的专著（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）中，将斯瓦茨遗址作为典型明布雷斯遗址进行介绍。该遗址的综合研究报告（科斯格罗夫夫妇，1932）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
