Utah Book Award Logo Traces of Fremont wins Utah Book Award

The University of Utah Press is pleased to announce that Steven Simms received the 2010 Utah Book Award in the nonfiction category for Traces of Fremont: Society and Rock Art in Ancient Utah.

Although it was long thought to be a simple sociopolitical system, Fremont culture has recently been reassessed as a more complex society. This volume places Fremont rock art studies in this contemporary context, offering an innovative model of Fremont society, politics, and worldview using the principles of analogy and current archaeological evidence. Simms’s prose is accompanied by François Gohier’s spectacular photographs of rock art and artifacts in this full-color book.
