#2178, 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，亦称斯沃茨遗址）出土的第三式风格器物的典型代表。斯瓦茨遗址是位于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，于20世纪20年代由H.S.科斯格罗夫与C.B.科斯格罗夫夫妇主持发掘。该遗址的年代约为公元950年至1175年，留存有大量保存相对完好的半地穴式房屋遗迹、数处经典明布雷斯式房址群，以及数量丰富的陶器、石器与动物遗存。发掘结束后的一段时期，该遗址遭到平整。科斯格罗夫夫妇此次发掘出土的文物、照片与田野记录，现馆藏于哈佛大学考古与民族学皮博迪博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）。斯瓦茨遗址作为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例，被收录于布罗迪关于明布雷斯陶器的两部专著（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）。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）。
