Anthropology and ArchaeologyHidden beneath the beautiful shifting dunes within the Sand Hollow Basin of southwestern Utah are thousands of campsites dating from the Early Archaic period into Historic times. The sites attest to life in a marginal environment, where small groups of people moved outward from the nearby Virgin River into the surrounding landscape, seasonally exploiting a surprisingly rich variety of plants and animals. This report summarizes archaeological, geomorphological, botanical, and climatological studies that have expanded our understanding of Native American land use and subsistence in this hot desert environment.

In the mid 1980s the Office of Public Archaeology excavated a series of sites in Clear Creek Canyon in central Utah in advance of I-70 construction. A tip by a local resident resulted in the discovery and subsequent complete excavation of a massive Fremont Village, later labeled Five Finger Ridge. In addition, excavators sampled or fully excavated a series of shelters and other residential Fremont sites in the canyon. The abundance of new data and rich artifact yield led directly to the establishment of Fremont Indian State Park across the canyon. This book relates the history of this work and presents the findings of the research.

BYU Museum of Peoples and Cultures Occasional Paper No. 16Joel C. JanetskiBYU Museum of Peoples and Cultures Occasional PapersAnthropology and ArchaeologyNative American partnerships with archaeologists have grown in number and importance since the passage of the Native American Grave Repatriation and Protection Act (NAGPRA). The Fish Lake archaeological project in central Utah established such a partnership in 1995, just a few years after the enactment of NAGPRA. Brigham Young University archaeologists and member of the Koosharem and Kanosh Bands of the Paiute Tribe of Utah joined forces to explore the pre-European history of this high altitude lake basin. This volume presents the history of that project, the results of the archaeological and ethnohistorical research, and interviews of Paiute tribal elders who present their thoughts on Fish Lake.
