Description: "Fremont is a culture first defined by archaeologist Noel Morss in 1928 based on characteristics unique to the Fremont river drainage. Intially thought to be a simple sociopolitical system, recent reassessments of the Fremont (ca. 300-1300 A.D.) assume a more complex society. This volume places Fremont rock art in this contemporary context. Author Steven Simms offers an innovative model of Fremont society, politics, and worldview using the principles of analogy and current archaeological evidence. [...] Francois Gohier's captivating photographs of Fremont art and artifacts offer an engaging complement to Simms's text, aiding us in our understandng of the lives of these ancient people."-- back cover.
