Cueva de la Olla
The Cueva de la Olla is an archaeological site in the northwest of the Mexican state Chihuahua , around 47 km as the crow flies southwest of Nuevo Casas Grandes near Ejido Ignacio Zaragoza. It is a small group of structures with walls in clay construction in the front part of a cave on the edge of a not very deep canyon . It is named after the three-meter-high Cuezcomate , a traditional form of the maize store , which is located directly at the cave entrance . The construction method and finds indicate the settlement of the Mogollon and the Anasazi cultural tradition. Further investigations have not yet taken place at this site.
In the same canyon there are other caves with prehistoric buildings, including the Cueva de la Golondrina.
