Call for references/pdf's

Hey all -

Here's my third and final post of the afternoon. (I'm binging.) In relation to my dissertation work and in helping out Tim Kohler for a side project on modeling population fluctuations in the SW, I'm going to be trying to create some kind of an individual-body-based Fremont census database (niner). Basically, I'm looking for records of Fremont burials/skeletal remains along with associated demographic info (sex, age, etc.), date(s), and provenience.

Over the past few years, I've been compiling a good-sized library of Fremont articles and publications. Basically, I've got everything that's freely available and accessible online from Malouf (1940) to present (~150 individual articles plus the Antiquities Section pubs and the Utah Archaeology's), as well as whole or partial inventories of the actual specimens from BYU, USU, UMNH, Antiquities, and Joan Coltrain. So, I'm good with all that, but it's the gray lit and other not-easily-accessible venues where I'm lacking. The next time I'm down in the area, I'll try to get my hands on some of the MPC publications, but if anybody knows of any reports mentioning Fremont remains off the top of their heads, pass that info on this way. You don't have to actually go and dig through them page by page (although I might be able to pay you in hugs and candy), just a reference would suffice. I could take it from there.

Thanks again for the help -


BRAD
