#2221, 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).

此碗为斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin）第三风格的典型标本。斯瓦茨遗址（亦称作斯瓦茨废墟）是坐落于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，由H.S.科斯格罗夫与C.B.科斯格罗夫于20世纪20年代主持发掘。该遗址的年代跨度约为公元950年至1175年，遗存包含大量保存相对完好的半地穴式房屋、数处经典明布雷斯式房址群，以及一大批陶瓷器、石质遗物与动物遗存。发掘工作结束后不久，该遗址便被夷平。科斯格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所获遗物、照片与野外记录，现由哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆典藏保管。布罗迪在其关于明布雷斯陶器的著作（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）中，将斯瓦茨遗址作为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例进行介绍。有关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）。
