Summary
"This bilingual publication describes the most relevant aspects of Huaca de la Luna after twenty-five years of research and archeological conservation works directed by the School of Social Sciences at the National University of Trujillo (Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad Nacional de Trujillo). Along with Huaca del Sol, Huaca de la Luna makes up the Huacas de Moche archaeological complex. Due to its features and historic significance, this archeological site is among the most important ones on Peru's northern coast. The publication describes the art, history, and evolution of Huaca de la Luna, emphasizing its recent development from an abandoned huaca to one of the most recognized, researched, and interpreted sites in the country. WMF and Fundación Backus are thankful for the support of the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, Patronato Huacas del Valle de Moche, and the Ministry of Culture, as well as the Peruvian and foreign public and private institutions that made the recovery of this iconic monument possible."--
