#3738, 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）第三风格器物的典型代表，该遗址是位于新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县中明布雷斯谷的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）聚落。马特克斯遗址的人类活动时段为晚棚屋期与经典明布雷斯时期（约公元550年至1130年），遗址内包含8处经典明布雷斯时期的房区，总计约180间房址。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（Paul Nesbitt，贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆）对该遗址开展了部分发掘工作。20世纪70年代，明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）将其作为研究核心对象（相关研究详见勒布朗1983年第8章，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现收藏于新墨西哥大学麦克斯韦博物馆。如今，西南考古协会（Archaeology Southwest）永久持有马特克斯遗址的地役权。
