New excavations and other recent research have contributed to a much better understanding of what has been identified as the Fremont cultural tradition. This lecture reviews some of these new studies as well as reports the most recent discoveries at a current excavation at the Hinckley Mounds. This site is located on the eastern edge of Utah Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in Utah, and the ancient ruins are only part of one of the largest Fremont villages occupied during the Late Fremont Period (AD 900-1300).
Michael Searcy is an associate professor of anthropology and archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at Brigham Young University. He is currently serving as the department chair and director of the New World Archaeological Foundation. For over fifteen years, he has worked in northern Mexico researching Casas Grandes cultural traditions with a focus on the Viejo Period (A.D. 700-1200) as well as the Late Fremont cultural tradition, practiced by people who occupied much of northern Utah between A.D. 900-1300. Michael recently co-authored the book Hinterlands to Cities: The Archaeology of Northwest Mexico with Matthew Pailes, and his recent research includes an ancient DNA study as well as a reanalysis of the chronology in the Casas Grandes region. His most recent publication on the Fremont was published in the journal KIVA about smoking mixtures used in pipes found in Utah Valley.
