2. When and Where? They lived from 700-1300 AD
They lived throughout central Utah, into very eastern Nevada, and western Colorado.

3. Homes The Fremont people lived in huts that were dug in the ground.
They would use large branches to make a roof. They would also have branches inside to hold the roof in place.

4. Culture
The culture was named for the Fremont River and its valley in which many of the first Fremont sites were discovered.
The fremont people were a Puebloid group who had a strong cultural affiliations with The Ancient Puebloans. While the Ancient Puebloans built cliff dwellings, the Fremont people lived in pit houses.
They were closely tied to nature and were flexible, diverse, and adaptive. They often made changes in their lives as social or environmental changes occurred.

5. Food The Fremont had a strange way of growing crops.
They would grow their crops in pots on the river bottom in mountain ranges.
Anthropologists suggest that the Fremont were hunter-gatherers who supplemented their diet by farming, growing corn, beans, and squash along the river bottoms. Native plants included pinyon nuts, rice grass, and a variety of berries, bulbs, and tubers.
Corn was ground on a stone surface (metate) using a hand held grinding stone tool (mano). Deer, bighorn sheep, rabbits, birds, fish, and rodents were hunted using snares, nets, fishhooks, and atatl (spear throwing stick) and the bow and arrow.

6. Some Important People in Their Tribe
Since the Fremont people disappeared so early, there was not a lot of information on their tribe. The only important person we could find was, “The Great Pathfinder”. There was no further information on the great pathfinder.

7. Artifacts they made
Pottery, mostly gray wares, it was smoothed and had polished surfaces.
They also made clay figurines.
One Singular Style of Basketry, called one-rod-and-bundle, incorporates willow, yucca, milkweed, and other native fibers.
They made moccasins out of large animal skins such as deer with the dew claw placed on the sole to act as hobnail. This provides extra traction on slippery surfaces.
