From Southern California Pottery by Paul D. Campbell "
When Rogers conducted a study of Yuman ceramics in the late 1920s, the craft had already gone into decline. He found purity of technique best preserved among the Southern Diegueño (Kumeyaay) at Manzanita in San Diego County. The tradition was mainly in the hands of one potter,
Rosa Lopez (Owas Hilmawa)
, whose procedures he recorded, supplementing his monograph where appropriate with archaeological and ethnographic data and the memories and practices of other potters of Yuman stock.
Rosa Lopez died in 1930
and many would say that today, on the brink of the twenty-first century, Yuman pottery is also dead. But in Lower California, in the mountain village of Santa Catarina and in the surrounding rancherias, the pottery lives much as Rogers described it at Manzanita more than sixty years ago."
