Reviews

""An excellent book that aptly discusses the possible and probable meanings of figurines.""--James Allison, Brigham Young University ""By far the most comprehensive documentation of Fremont figurines. Yoder's synthesis speaks to clothing styles, adornment, gender, and variations in Fremont identity and situates Fremont within a Southwestern Puebloan context. Clearly written and documented, this book will be essential to those who study figurines. There isn't anything comparable.""--Steven R. Simms, emeritus professor Utah State University and author of First Peoples of Great Salt Lake ""Yoder has taken on the monumental challenge not only to examine hundreds of long-forgotten Fremont figurines, but to delve into their role as unique cultural identifiers of a people now almost lost to history. This volume serves both amateur and professional alike as a master class in how Fremont culture, ideology, and art are expressed in artifact style and form.""--Richard K. Talbot, director emeritus of the Office of Public Archaeology, Brigham Young University
