Students from BYU and WeberStateU are working together to excavate artifacts from a 1,000-year-old Native American village that once sprawled across what is now west Provo. “We’re really trying to preserve as much as we can so that it doesn’t get lost.'
The current excavation is part of, where graduate and undergraduate students can get hands-on experience with archaeology, which Searcy said is “fantastic” in the west Provo area.
”So I tell them, ‘If you dig Fremont archaeology, you can do anything. Roman aqueduct? Easy,’” he said. “‘Mayan Temple? So easy.” Faculty and students from BYU's 2023 Archaeological Field School explore the remains of a 1,000-year-old Fremont village at the Hinckley Mounds in west Provo on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
Lee recalled finding a ceramic recently and washing it off — which revealed a clear fingerprint with ridges. Searcy added there are probably similar sites under newly developed houses nearby, as well as under the runways at the nearby airport.
