#940, Style II or Style III Bowl from Pruitt

This Bowl is an example of "Style II, Style III" from the Pruitt Ranch site (sometimes known as the Pruitt site, Pruitt Upton Ranch site, Gorman Ranch site, and Upton-Tigner site). The Pruitt Ranch site is a large Mimbres village that straddles the Grant-Luna county line in southwestern New Mexico. The site has been dated to between A.D. 550 and 1130 and has both Late Pithouse and Classic period components. The Simons family recently donated the Pruitt Ranch site to the Archaeological Conservancy. Local residents, including Dr. Berry Bowen and family, V. F. Tannich, and Richard Eisele dug extensively at the site in the 1920s and 1930s. Some of the pottery taken by Tannich is housed at the University of Arkansas Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Many other bowls from Pruitt reside in other museums and private collections. Relatively little professional excavation has taken place at the site. Darrell Creel (University of Texas, Austin) has undertaken mapping efforts.

这件陶碗是出自普里特牧场遗址（有时也被称为普里特遗址、普里特-厄普顿牧场遗址、戈尔曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址）的“风格II、风格III”类器物示例。普里特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落，坐落于新墨西哥州西南部，横跨格兰特县与卢纳县的县界。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年，同时包含晚期坑屋期与古典期的文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近日将普里特牧场遗址捐赠给了考古保护协会（Archaeological Conservancy）。20世纪20至30年代，包括贝里·鲍恩（Berry Bowen）博士及其家人、V. F. 坦尼奇（V. F. Tannich）以及理查德·艾瑟尔（Richard Eisele）在内的当地居民对该遗址开展了大规模的发掘活动。坦尼奇发掘带走的部分陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆与圣路易斯艺术博物馆。普里特牧场遗址出土的其他大量陶碗则收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏之中。该遗址的专业考古发掘工作相对匮乏。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel）曾主持该遗址的测绘工作。
