"Range Creek Canyon is a rugged and remote, mid-elevation canyon in the West Tavaputs Plateaue, Utah. The Canyon has received much attnetion because of it's remarkably intact record of an intense Fremont occupation from A.D. 900 to 1200. To date, 470 sites have been recorded with only a fraction of teh canyon having been surveyed. The University of Utah has held its archeoligical Fiel School in Range Creek canyon annually since 2003. This article focuses on the results and directon of research at the University of Utah's Range Creek Field station, which was established in 2009 for the long-term study, managment, and preservation of this rich archeaoligical resource. Ongoing projects include survey, subsurface testing, experimental farming, wild plant procurment, and plaeoenviromental studies." [Publisher]
