Los Naranjos Archaeological Park

Also known as: Los Naranjos, Los Naranjos (Honduras), Los Naranjos, Honduras, ロス・ナランホス遺跡

Los Naranjos archaeological site is located on the border of Mesoamerica [1]. The site appears to have reached one of its peak periods during the Eden phase, corresponding to the Late Formative and Early Classic period [1]. In 1935, Frans Blom and Jens Yde conducted an excavation of a large mound at Los Naranjos [1]. They found a large collection of polychrome pottery [1]. The site contained two large ditches, one that stretched from Lake Yojoa to a pool just north of an encampment, made during the Jaral phase [1].
