Fremont Perspectives

by David B. Madsen

The papers included in this monograph were produced as a result of a series of events initiated by the publication of "Backhoe Village" in 1977. The Backhoe Village monograph included an attempt to reconcile a number of opposing views on the nature of the Fremont, the origins of Fremont groups, and the classification of its areal variation. It also included much of the recently accumulated data on Fremont subsistence. As a result, plans were made to hold a Fremont symposium at the 1978 Great Basin Anthropological Conference. Fremont topics fell into two major theoretical/methodological and descriptive. The papers presents have been collected and presented in this volume.
