Cantonment Burgwin Project.

Hide Profile

Cantonment (Fort) Burgwin, New Mexico, was established in 1852 to protect settlers from Apache and Ute Indians. The post was abandoned in 1860. In 1957, Dr. Fred Wendorf of Texas Technological College supervised an archaeology field school at the site of the post, ten miles south of Taos, New Mexico, where an adjacent, pre-historic pueblo site was also located.
