Pedregal is a small Late Intermediate site, spanning the Lambayeque and Chimú periods, located on the north side of the Jequetepeque Valley, 10 km inland from the Pacific Coast. According to Robyn Cutright who excavated the site in 2006, its inhabitants may have supplied agricultural products to the neighbouring centres of Pacatnamu and Farfan. Residential areas at the site have excellent preservation of both carbonized and uncarbonized maize kernels, cobs, and other plant parts from midden, hearth, and construction fill associated with household contexts (Cutright 2009).
