Mojeque

The archaeological site spans 550 acres with two main pyramidal structures, Moxeke and Huaca A, connected by multiple open plazas and stone buildings.

Construction of this Initial Period settlement occurred between 1900 BCE and 1400 BCE, featuring advanced architectural techniques using stone set in mud mortar.

The Moxeke pyramid displays large clay sculptures of anthropomorphic heads and figures, representing religious beliefs and ceremonial practices of early Peruvian societies.

Huaca A contains seventy-seven storage rooms built across different levels, accessed through staircases and secured with wooden bar closure systems.

The site includes over 110 intermediate administrative mounds where officials used ceramic stamp seals to monitor and control the distribution of resources.
