Steven R. Simms is a professor of anthropology at Utah State University. He is the author of Ancient Peoples of the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau.; Franu00e7ois Gohier grew up in the Basque country in southwest France. He is a professional photographer and lives in San Diego, California.
"An interesting read as well as a visual treat."--Utah Historical
Quarterly
"Simms commendably presents complex debates in contemporary
archaeology about Fremont society, far exceeding the usual
descriptive and simple theorizing fare that characterizes much
popular archaeological literature. The book is beautifully
illustrated with stunning photography of Fremont material culture
and rock art, complemented by text that lucidly outlines a model of
Fremont society and origins that Simms has been developing over the
years, making the book also relevant to professional
archaeologists."--New Mexico Historical Review
"Simms's book is excellent! I really like his take on Fremont, I
like the narrative descriptions of various Fremont settlements, and
I like his treatment of rock art balanced and scholarly without
losing the interest and excitement of that astonishing Fremont
medium."--Stephen H. Lekson, professor of anthropology and curator,
University of Colorado Museum of Natural History
"Together, Simms and Gohier take readers back in time."--Deseret
