#7021, Style III Bowl from Mattocks

This 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.

这件陶碗是马特克斯遗址（Mattocks site）第三风格器物的典型示例，该遗址是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县中明布雷斯河谷的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址。马特克斯遗址的人类活动年代可追溯至晚期棚屋时期与经典明布雷斯时期（约公元550年—1130年）。该遗址共包含8处经典明布雷斯时期房区，总计约180间房址。1929年，来自贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆的保罗·内斯比特对马特克斯遗址开展了部分发掘工作。20世纪70年代，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将该遗址作为研究的核心对象（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标本现收藏于新墨西哥大学马克斯韦尔博物馆。西南考古学会（Archaeology Southwest）现已永久获得马特克斯遗址的地役权。
