The landmark Peabody Museum excavation report of the Swarts Ruin, a Classic Mimbres pueblo site in
Grant County. Describes the excavation of 100+ rooms, hundreds of complete Mimbres black-on-white
bowls, burial practices, and architectural details. The foundational text for understanding Mimbres
archaeology. The Cosgroves' meticulous documentation of the pottery and its archaeological context
remains the essential reference.
