‘On the Trail of Fremont Shield Bearers’ Lecture
Former State Public Archaeologist Elizabeth Hora will dig into the region’s prehistory when she gives a free lecture titled “On the Trail of Fremont Shield Bearers” at 5 p.m. on Wednesday at the Park City Museum’s Education and Collections Center, 2079 Sidewinder Drive. Hora, founder and executive director of High Desert Heritage and Research, will lean into her use of historical concepts in archaeological analysts for the presentation that starts with the examination of rock art — petroglyphs and pictographs — created by people who lived in Uinta Basin from 400 to 1,200 A.D.
