Large Southern California olla pottery is traditional, hand-built ceramic storage jars (ollas) made by Native American tribes in the region, especially the Kumeyaay Cahuilla, and other Yuman-speaking groups. These vessels, often called "Tizon Brown Ware," date back to the Late Prehistoric Period (roughly 3,000 to 300 years ago) and continued into historic times.
An olla is a large, rounded or bulbous, usually unglazed clay jar. In Southern California indigenous cultures, people used them for storing water, seeds, dry foods, cordage, or ceremonial items. They were often cached in caves, rocks, or buried near villages.
