#2089, Style III Bowl from Swarts

This Bowl is an example of Style III from the Swarts Ruin site. Swarts ruin (sometimes known as Swartz ruin) is a Mimbres village in Grants County, southwestern New Mexico, excavated during the 1920s by H.S. and C.B. Cosgrove. The site dates from about A.D. 950 to 1175 and contained the relatively undisturbed remains of numerous pit houses and several Classic Mimbres roomblocks, as well as a large assemblage of ceramics, lithics, and faunal material. Sometime after the excavations, the site was leveled. Artifacts, photographs and field notes from the Cosgrove excavations are curated in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. Swarts is described as an example Mimbres site in Brody?s books on Mimbres pottery (1977, 2002 http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3). A comprehensive report on the site (Cosgrove and Cosgrove 1932) has recently been reprinted (http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3).

这件陶碗是斯瓦茨遗址（Swarts Ruin site）出土的第三风格典型标本。斯瓦茨遗址（部分文献亦作斯沃茨遗址）是位于美国新墨西哥州西南部格兰特县的一处明布雷斯（Mimbres）村落遗址，1920年代由H.S.科斯格罗夫与C.B.科斯格罗夫夫妇主持发掘。该遗址的年代跨度约为公元950年至1175年，遗迹保存状态相对完好，出土了大量坑式住宅遗迹、多组经典明布雷斯风格的房址组团，以及数量丰富的陶瓷器、石器与动物遗存。发掘工作结束后的一段时期内，该遗址遭到平整破坏。科斯格罗夫夫妇此次发掘所获文物、照片与田野笔记，现收藏于哈佛大学皮博迪考古与民族学博物馆（Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology）。斯瓦茨遗址作为明布雷斯遗址的典型案例，被收录于布罗迪关于明布雷斯陶器的两部专著（1977、2002，http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4770839~S3）中。该遗址的综合性发掘报告（科斯格罗夫与科斯格罗夫，1932）已于近期再版（http://library.lib.asu.edu/record=b4816690~S3）。
