Each “find” is recorded in the accepted archaeological pa.cern. by horizontal sketch, a written description of the artifact in relation to the site and by photograph. Control Element This is the challenge met by the students. The control element of the scientific approach is graphicillustration of the difference between a “pot valid archaeological experience, Mr. Johnson is enthusiastic about the future of the young archaeologists. “It will be a long ime before the archaeologists dig themselvesout of a job,” he commented. “These young people are having a meaningful experience. They can truly say they are accomplising something. Their work at the dig is producing something which will eventually go into a record of the Fremontculture.” Unusual Items Along with general artifacts of the period, four unusual items have been recovered. The head of a figurine of the Fremont period suggests that this may have been secreted away in a house cist, a practice of the times, Other carved pieces have been tentatively identified as figurine arms. Unique in the recovered artifacts is a round stone Reval some two-inches long, which is bored the entire length and designs carved or chipped aroundthe outside of the piece. The tube-like object eee a funnel, but it has not been identified as to use. The third mystery is perhaps most significant. At least six bone pedestals have been found, each carved in the shape of a flower or geometric design on one end of the small piece. Possible embossing uses have been disccvered with delicate fossil imprints exactly matching the bonetools. Each artifiact is bagged and identified as to site, level, date and name at the site and returned to the BYU Arcuaeology Lab, where each item is processed. This includes washing, marking, study and classification, Because of the primitive life condition of ihe period under study, usual finds are basic awls, bone needles, plain pottery, some caches of corrugated pottery and projectile points. An enigma is the discovery of a pot sherd wnich is black on white on one side, red on the other. Since most Fremontpotteryis gray this is thought to be a trade item broughtfrom the south. Field Trips Field trips to the BYU Field School ef Archaeology at Montezuma Canyonfor a day on the “dig” will enhance the student understanding of the profession as will a visit to Mesa Verde and the University of Utah Museum of Natural History. Evening outings have provided opportunities for the somewhat cosmopolitan group to become better acquainted. ‘Two group members are from New Jersey and California, while others are enrolled from New Mexico, Nevada, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming and Wisconsin. NoUtah students were enrolled year. “The only thing I don’t like about the class is that it is too short,” commented Jim Alexander, of Sudbury, Mass.
