This complex is an integrated collection of archaeological structures and mounds built from adobe, many of which are more than 9 meters high. A number of tombs have been discovered at a depth of more than four meters. The most prominent belongs to the “Priestess of San Jose de Moro.” Scientists have identified three styles of Moche burial here: “boot” tombs, chamber tombs, and well-style tombs. Archaeological excavation has turned up some of the most intricately painted Moche pottery in the Trujillo region.
