#3746, Style III Flare rim bowl from Mattocks

This Flare rim 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.

这件折沿敞口碗（flare rim bowl）是美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县明布雷斯河谷中段的明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址——马多克斯遗址（Mattocks site）的第三风格器物示例。马多克斯遗址的人类活动年代为晚坑居文化期至经典明布雷斯时期（约公元550年—1130年）。该遗址包含8处经典时期房址群，总计约180间房舍。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（Paul Nesbitt）依托贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆（Logan Museum, Beloit College）对马多克斯遗址进行了部分发掘。20世纪70年代，该遗址成为明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）研究的核心对象（勒布朗1983年：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现馆藏于新墨西哥大学麦克斯韦博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。目前西南考古学会（Archaeology Southwest）已获得马多克斯遗址的永久管护权。
