Visiting the Galisteo BasinThe twenty-four sites that make up the Galisteo Basin Archaeological Protection Sites are fragile and irreplaceable. Many are remote, and all are part of an active landscape of working ranches, quiet neighborhoods, and open spaces. Before we will be able to welcome visitors to the sites, we need to ensure that we can preserve the sites and their spectacular settings. Over the years, our neighbors in the Galisteo Basin have been outstanding stewards for these sites; we want to carry that tradition forward as we plan for site protection and preservation.
Although most of the archaeological sites in the Galisteo Basin are closed to the public at the present, you can tour this astonishing landscape right now on this website. We’ll be working hard to expand your tour possibilities through the addition of on-line access to archaeological field research reports, first-hand accounts of the work going on now in the Galisteo, photographs and other details of the sites, bibliographic references, and notes and news of public events celebrating the heritage of the Galisteo. Check here often for new ways to experience the Galisteo Basin.
