On the arid plain between the two Huacas excavations revealed a series of structures covered by thick layers of alluvium and sand as much as 2 meters deep in some sectors. These structures had finely-finished floors and walls of stone and adobe plastered with mud.

Some enclosure walls had niches, while others were embellished by paint. Houses had areas devoted to storage as well as remains of hearths, grinding stones and foodstuffs, indicating that they probably had a public and administrative function while others served as the homes of high-status residents. Excavations also uncovered pottery workshops.

The evidence suggests that the settlement was an urban one with specially designated areas that served the needs of administration, residence, craft workshops, and religious activities.
