Caught Between Two Regions: A Historical Perspective on How Archaeologists Understand the Fremont Regional System

Author(s): Lindsay Johansson; Katie Richards

Year: 2016

Summary

Like every archaeological region, current views concerning Fremont are influenced as much by the history of archaeologists as it is by the archaeology itself. This paper presents a (very brief) history of Fremont archaeology and archaeological thought, focusing on how particular developments and individuals influenced how Fremont was understood. Our aim is not to be comprehensive, and we will undoubtedly omit important events and information, including contributions of many in attendance. Our goal instead is to contextualize the symposium and illustrate the influential nature of the present work in general archaeological conceptualizations of Fremont.
