With support from the National Science Foundation, Drs. Ronald Towner, Renee Barlow, and Matthew Salzer will conduct two seasons of tree-ring research on the largest set of pristine Fremont archaeological sites yet identified. As one part of a larger collaborative effort involving students from four universities and volunteers from two interest groups, the project will significantly enhance our scientific understanding of the Fremont culture of northeastern Utah (AD 800-1300) including its florescence as an agricultural society and demise prior to Euroamerican contact. The team will also examine variations in rainfall patterns in the area for the past 800-1000 years and relate such changes to changing Fremont, Ute, and historic ranching land use patterns. The goals of the project are to collect and date tree-ring samples from as many as 50 previously unknown Fremont structures, develop multi-century long tree-ring chronologies, reconstruct precipitation patterns of northeastern Utah for the past thousand years, and create models of human/environment interaction in semi-arid environments that may have global applications.As part of this effort, the investigators will train undergraduate and graduate students, and volunteers, in the proper collection of archaeological and live-tree samples so that they will be able to continue the research after the end of the project. Both graduate and undergraduate students will use the project data as part of their research projects.This project is a unique and exciting opportunity to develop collaborations between different universities and interest groups while researching pristine Fremont archaeological sites, climate variability for the past 1000 years, and the myriad ways people adapted to their semi-arid environment in good times and in bad times. The project will provide the basis for major revisions in the scientific understanding of the Fremont and to understanding human/environment interactions.

在国家科学基金会的支持下。罗纳德·汤纳（Ronald Towner），蕾妮·巴洛（Renee Barlow）和马修·萨尔泽（Matthew Salzer）将对尚未确定的原始原始弗里蒙特考古遗址进行两个季节的树木研究研究。作为涉及来自四所大学的学生和来自两个利益集团的志愿者的学生的更大合作努力的一部分，该项目将大大增强我们对犹他州东北部弗里蒙特文化（AD 800-1300）的科学理解，包括其作为农业社会的福罗斯和欧洲人接触之前的消亡。 该团队还将检查过去800 - 1000年的降雨模式的变化，并将这种变化与改变弗里蒙特，UTE和历史悠久的牧场土地利用模式有关。该项目的目标是从多达50个以前未知的弗里蒙特结构中收集和日期，发展多个世纪的长棵树环，重建过去一千年的犹他州东北部的降水模式，并在过去的半疗法环境中创建可能具有全球应用的人类/环境互动模型。考古和活树样本，以便他们能够在项目结束后继续研究。研究生和本科生都将使用项目数据作为研究项目的一部分。该项目是一个独特而令人兴奋的机会，可以在研究原始的弗里蒙特考古遗址，过去1000年中研究原始的弗里蒙特考古场所之间的合作，以及在良好的时期和糟糕的时期中适应半疗法环境的众多方式。该项目将为弗里蒙特的科学理解和理解人类/环境互动的科学理解提供重大修订的基础。
