#6211, 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）的III型风格标本，该遗址位于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的米姆布雷斯（Mimbres）河谷中部，是一处米姆布雷斯村落遗址。马特克斯遗址的存续年代为晚棚屋期（Late Pithouse）与经典明布雷斯时期（Classic Mimbres），约为公元550年至1130年。该遗址包含8处经典明布雷斯时期房址群，总计约180间房址。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆）曾对该遗址进行部分发掘。20世纪70年代，米姆布雷斯基金会将其作为核心研究对象（莱布隆克1983：第8章，文献链接：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麦克斯韦博物馆。目前西南考古学会（Archaeology Southwest）已永久获得马特克斯遗址的地役权。
