#468, Style III Bowl from Pruitt

This Bowl is an example of 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.

此件陶碗为普里特牧场遗址（又称普里特遗址、普里特厄普顿牧场遗址、戈曼牧场遗址及厄普顿-泰格纳遗址）的第三风格器物实例。普里特牧场遗址是一座大型明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落，横跨美国新墨西哥州西南部的格兰特县与卢纳县交界地带。该遗址的年代可追溯至公元550年至1130年之间，同时包含晚期坑屋期（Late Pithouse）与古典期（Classic period）文化遗存。西蒙斯家族近日将普里特牧场遗址捐赠予考古保护协会（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）与理查德·艾泽尔（Richard Eisele）在内的当地居民对该遗址开展了大规模发掘。坦尼奇带出的部分陶器现收藏于阿肯色大学博物馆（University of Arkansas Museum）与圣路易斯艺术博物馆（Saint Louis Art Museum）。普里特遗址出土的其余大量陶碗则收藏于其他博物馆及私人收藏领域。该遗址的专业考古发掘工作相对较少。达雷尔·克里尔（Darrell Creel，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（University of Texas, Austin））已对该遗址开展测绘工作。
