In 1931, Noel Morss published his "Report on the Explorations under the Caflin-Emerson Fund, 1928-1929," in which he described numerous Fremont sites studied and at least partially excavated by a team from Harvard University. Many of the sites are in the vicinity of the Fremont River and the Waterpocket Fold, which are near (or in) Capitol Reef National Park.
Yesterday, VSO and I went into Spring Gulch to see a number of the rock shelters that Morss included in his paper (and probably some that were not). We noted potsherds, stone tools, ground stone, and possible pictographs. It was a nice day for late December and we made it a couple of miles upstream (and back) before dark.
