Fremont Culture

The Fremont Culture was a prehistoric Native American civilization that thrived in present-day Utah from around 1050 to 1300 CE. Known for their distinctive pottery, intricate basketry, and semi-permanent villages, they practiced agriculture, hunting, and gathered wild plants. The Fremont people built rock shelters and small settlements, and they created unique rock art. Their society was organized into distinct groups, and they left behind artifacts that provide insights into their daily life, spirituality, and craftsmanship. The Fremont Culture is significant for understanding the region’s early indigenous history before European contact.
