Fremont

400 – 1300
Native nationNorth America

The maize-growing, basketry-and-moccasin people of Utah and the eastern Great Basin, who built masonry granaries high in canyon cliffs, left haunting trapezoidal anthropomorphs across their rock-art panels and balanced farming with hunting and gathering.

A drying climate and the southward spread of farming's limits dissolved the Fremont way of life by ~1300; the people shifted back to full foraging and merged into the incoming Numic-speaking ancestors of the Ute and Paiute.
