Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Fremont Culture occupied central and northern Utah from about A.D. 450 to A.D. 1300. Relatively large faunal assemblages recovered from some Fremont sites have suggested a contrast between Fremont and Anasazi reliance on animal resources, and (by implication) dependence on domesticated crops, but comparison of numbers of specimens and numbers of species identified in 73 archaeological faunas from the northern Southwest fails to support this contrast. Both assemblage size and assemblage richness show significant geographic variation, but this variation does not coincide with cultural boundaries and cannot be directly linked to resource selection. The relationship between assemblage size and richness is statistically identical across space and time, suggesting an underlying similarity in faunal resource exploitation.
