The Fremont Culture occupied central and northern Utah from about A.D. 450 to A.D. 1300. Relatively large faunal assemblages recovered from some Fremont sites have suggested a contrast between Fremont and Anasazi reliance on animal resources, and (by implication) dependence on domesticated crops, but comparison of numbers of specimens and numbers of species identified in 73 archaeological faunas from the northern Southwest fails to support this contrast. Both assemblage size and assemblage richness show significant geographic variation, but this variation does not coincide with cultural boundaries and cannot be directly linked to resource selection. The relationship between assemblage size and richness is statistically identical across space and time, suggesting an underlying similarity in faunal resource exploitation.RESUMENLa cultura Fremont ocupó Utah central y norte desde A.D. 450 hasta A.D. 1300. Relativamente grandes colecciones faunales que se han recuperado de algunos sitios Fremont indican un contraste entre los Fremont y los Anazasi en su dependencia en recursos animales, y (por inferencia) dependencia en cosechas domesticadas. Sin embargo, una comparación de las cantidades de ejemplares V las cantidades de especies indentificadas en 73 faunas arqueológicas del norte del suroeste no sostiene este constraste. El tamaño de las colecciones y su riqueza muestran variación geográfica, pero esta variación no coincide con los límites culturales y no se puede directamente enlazar a la selección de recursos. La relación entre el tamaño de la colección y su riqueza es estadísticamente igual a través del tiempo y espacio, sugeriendo algo parecido en el uso de los recursos faunales
