The Fremont culture or '''Fremont people''' is a Precolumbian Archaeological Culture taking its name from the Fremont River in Utah where the first Fremont sites were discovered. It inhabited sites in what is now Utah and parts of Nevada , Idaho and Colorado from 700 to 1300 AD. It was adjacent to, roughly contemporaneous with but distinctly different from the Anasazi Culture . Fremont Indian State Park in the Clear Creek Canyon area in south-central Utah contains the biggest Fremont culture site in Utah. Other sites are found in Dinosaur National Monument , Zion National Park and Arches National Park . RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The Range Creek Canyon site complex is unambiguously identified with the Fremont culture, and because of its astonishingly pristine state, promises to bring an immense amount of insight to this hitherto obscure Archaeological Culture . ETYMOLOGY The name comes from the Fremont River , which is named for John Charles Fremont . External links |
