Huaca El Naranjal, Archaeological site in Los Olivos, Peru.

The pyramidal structure stands 5 meters tall and extends 80 meters in length, featuring adobe construction materials and multiple architectural components.

Dating from 900 to 1400 CE, this site operated as a pottery production center during the Ychsma and Inca periods in the Chillon Valley.

Archaeological excavations revealed pottery kilns, clay mixing areas, storage spaces, and manufacturing tools, indicating an advanced ceramic production facility.

Located at the intersection of Proceres Avenue with Street 50 and Passage 54A, the site currently restricts public access due to conservation needs.

The site contains three distinct stratigraphic phases, including production waste contexts, quarried stone architecture, and tapia construction techniques.
