In July 2004, a new long-term research program was initiated with the first archaeological campaign at Huaca el Pueblo, a Moche site with monumental architecture situated in the lower Zaña Valley.
During this first field season, a series of precise excavations were carried out to determine the nature of the settlement, and to map the site and the architecture.
Thanks to a National Science Foundation grant an additional three-year archaeological project (2007-2009) is being conducted at the site.
The main objective of the 2007 field season was the study of a large domestic sector, and the establishment of the first chronological sequence at the site. This excavation has revealed a complete Moche sequence from the Early to the Late Moche.
