A comprehensive catalogue of every known figurine from the Fremont culture

The Fremont culture is famous for its anthropomorphic figurines—small clay figures occasionally dressed in clothing and decorated with jewelry—but surprisingly, archaeologists know very little about these important artifacts and their place in Fremont society. In Faces of the Fremont, the largest study of the subject ever undertaken, David T. Yoder takes a straightforward approach to cultural commentary through artifactual analysis as he interprets over 800 figurines and anthropomorphic objects.

Unlike previous research on the subject, this volume explores neglected topics within Fremont studies, including sex and gender, clothing and body decoration, hairstyles, and childhood. Complete with in-depth analysis and interpretation of the significance of the figurines to the Fremont people, as well as hundreds of beautiful color photographs, Faces of the Fremont provides a nuanced understanding of figurine manufacture, formalizes a classification system for figurine traits, and documents new and interesting geographic and temporal patterns.
