#479, Style III Flare rim bowl from McSherry

This Flare rim bowl is an example of Style III from the McSherry site (also known as McSherry ruin). The McSherry site is located near the NAN Ranch ruin in the middle Mimbres River Valley, Grants County, New Mexico. McSherry has at least two Classic Mimbres (ca. A.D. 1000-1130) roomblocks, which were badly damaged by looters. It also has an adjacent Black Mountain phase (ca. A.D. 1200-1300) pueblo, and ceramics suggest the presence of an earlier Pithouse period occupation. Dr. Harry Shafer conducted preliminary excavations at McSherry in 1981 and undertook subsequent surface collections. Artifacts from Shafer?s excavation are curated by the Western New Mexico State University.

这件折沿碗（Flare rim bowl）是麦克谢里遗址（McSherry site，亦称麦克谢里废墟McSherry ruin）第三类风格（Style III）器物的典型示例。麦克谢里遗址坐落于新墨西哥州格兰特县米姆布雷斯河中游河谷，紧邻南恩牧场废墟（NAN Ranch ruin）。该遗址至少包含两处约公元1000-1130年的经典米姆布雷斯时期（Classic Mimbres）房址群，曾遭盗墓者严重破坏；此外还毗邻一处约公元1200-1300年的黑山期（Black Mountain phase）普韦布洛聚落（pueblo），出土陶瓷器表明这里还存在更早的坑屋时期（Pithouse period）定居遗存。哈里·谢弗博士（Dr. Harry Shafer）于1981年在麦克谢里遗址开展了初步发掘，并在此后进行了地表采集工作。谢弗发掘出土的文物现由西新墨西哥州立大学（Western New Mexico State University）馆藏管理。
