S2E11 Culture, Climate, and the Agricultural Transition in Northeastern Utah’s Uintah Basin: The Cub Creek Fremont in Dinosaur National Monument

The Fremont cultures of the northeastern Great Basin and northern Colorado Plateau are understood as the northernmost maize agriculturalists in the North American Southwest. Because of the relatively recent timing of the Fremont foraging-farming transition (AD 300-1300), we can learn a great deal about the subtle interplay between climatic conditions and social decisions leading to the intensification of farming, the formation of early agricultural villages, and the development of complex societies. The Cub Creek reach of Dinosaur National Monument in northeastern Utah is a case study in the socio-ecological dynamics of Fremont culture.

Pushed Out PT 2

Pushed Out PT 2

A small town weighs the economic compromises of growth in the Rocky Mountain West. Dr. Ryanne Pilgeram from University of Idaho joins us to discuss her book on Dover, Idaho titled "Pushed Out." What happens to rural communities when their traditional economic base collapses? When new money comes in, who gets left behind? Pushed Out offers a rich portrait of Dover, Idaho, whose transformation from “thriving timber mill town” to “economically depressed small town” to “trendy second-home location” over the past four decades embodies the story and challenges of many other rural communities. Check out her book at the Book People store in Moscow or Vanderford’s in Sandpoint. You can also purchase the book online here: https://uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295748696/pushed-out/ (use discount code WST30 for 30% off!) Watch the video here.
