After almost a month of digging and excavating. local anthropology college students are wrapping up their archaeological dig as they scramble to find as much as they can about a Native American village that existed in Provo long ago.
The anthropologists with both BYU and Weber State have spent the past month excavating the entire site, finely sifting through soil to learn as much as they can about the Fremont people, a group of Native Americans who thrived near Utah Lake centuries ago. The land at the site of the excavation has been owned by the Hinckley Family farm since the 1800s, but has drawn the interest of archaeologists since the 30s."These guys find something every day. It’s kind of fun watching," he said."I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff they haven’t found."
"It’s satisfying because you know you found it, and that hasn’t seen for thousands of years. You get to be personally and physically involved with the people who lived here," explained BYU student Breanne Herrmann."You don’t find a lot of jobs where you can pair manual labor with intellectual work, and this is one of them," said Herrmann.
