1,000-year-old Indian village discovered in Provo

Local archaeologists are currently conducting excavations to uncover the remains of a prehistoric Native American village that existed a thousand years ago in Provo.

This ancient village, known as “The Fremont,” once thrived across the Provo River Delta and is believed to have housed over 1,000 Native American inhabitants.

The Fremont people were likely attracted to the fertile farmlands, abundant fisheries, and plentiful waterfowl offered by Utah Lake, as stated in a news release about the discovery, ABC4 reported.

Leading this ongoing project are archaeologists Dr. Mike Searcy and Scott Ure from Brigham Young University’s Department of Anthropology, along with Dr. David Yoder from Weber State University.
