#4248, 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.

这件陶碗是新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县明布雷斯（Mimbres）河谷中部的明布雷斯村落——马特克斯（Mattocks）遗址出土的第三风格器物典型实例。马特克斯遗址的存续年代为晚期棚屋期与经典明布雷斯时期（约公元550年—1130年），共包含8处经典明布雷斯时期房组，总计约180间房址。1929年，保罗·内斯比特（Paul Nesbitt）受贝洛伊特学院洛根博物馆（Logan Museum, Beloit College）委派，对该遗址进行了部分发掘。20世纪70年代，马特克斯遗址成为明布雷斯基金会（Mimbres Foundation）研究的核心课题（勒布朗1983：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收藏于新墨西哥大学马克斯韦尔博物馆（Maxwell Museum, University of New Mexico）。西南考古协会（Archaeology Southwest）现已永久获得马特克斯遗址的地役权。
