Beneath Your Feet: Discovering the Archaeology of Utah Valley is BYU's Museum of Peoples and Cultures' (MPC) newest exhibition. This exhibition has a particular emphasis on the Fremont people who inhabited Utah Valley from AD 400 to 1300.

Featured prominently in the exhibit are many artifacts discovered around Utah Lake. Archaeologists, including those at BYU and BYU's field school class, have been excavating sites in Utah Valley since the early 1930s.

This is the first exhibition to focus solely on the archaeology of Utah Valley. All of the material in the new exhibition was put together by student employees of the MPC. This exhibit offers a new perspective on Utah Valley's history and the chance to discover the history that is literally beneath the homes, street, and sidewalks around us. 

To schedule a tour, call 801-422-0022 or just come in on your own! Admission is free.
