#2536, 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).这件陶碗是斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin）第三风格的典型器物。斯瓦茨遗址（亦被称为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）古村落遗址，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，遗存包括大量保存相对完好的半地穴式房屋遗迹与数处经典明布雷斯房址区块，同时出土了一批数量庞大的陶瓷器、石器与动物遗骸标本。发掘工作结束后的某一时期，该遗址被夷为平地。科斯格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所获的文物、影像资料与田野记录，现由哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）馆藏保管。斯瓦茨遗址作为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例，被收录于布罗迪（Brody）关于明布雷斯陶器的研究专著（1977、2002年，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）。该遗址的综合考古报告（科斯格罗夫与科斯格罗夫，1932年）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
