Approximately 30 students from Brigham Young University and Weber State University are digging up artifacts from a 1,000-year-old Fremont village not far from the shores of Utah Lake.
Artifacts found in the pit houses tell the archaeologists and their students that the Indigenous people lived in tiny houses, farmed corn, and hunted and fished in this area that used to be the Provo River Delta."Humans are just so interesting," Winter said. "Like, how we have gotten to this point in our lives and our civilization, and how we got here from there.
This is just an immersive experience for the students to learn side-by-side with the professors and to dig on an actual site that will yield accurate data that will eventually be published," Searcy said.Archaeologists have been digging in the Hinckley Mounds area for nearly 100 years. This summer, the students and their professors excavate eight hours a day, 40 hours a week for seven weeks.
