The Anthropomorphic Figurine Tradition of the Fremont Archaeological Culture
Author(s): David Yoder
Year: 2023
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
For almost a century, clay figurines have been described as one of the defining traits of the Fremont culture of the eastern Great Basin and northern Colorado Plateau. But surprisingly, many questions about the figurines’ basic characteristics, distribution, chronology, and meaning have remained unanswered. In this presentation I discuss the results of an analysis of over 800 such artifacts, highlighting what they can tell us about Fremont continuity and variety, sex and gender, dress, and childhood.
