In 1927, the Claflin-Emerson Fund of Harvard's Peabody Museum was created to provide support for extended surveys of southeastern Utah west of the Colorado River, a region then almost unknown archaeologically.

Noel Morss (1904-1981) served as a research fellow in prehistory of the American Southwest for the Peabody Museum. He was founding member of the Council on Old World Archaeology and is recognized as having defined the Fremont culture. Duncan Metcalfe is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Utah. He is also the chief curator of anthropology at the Utah Museum of Natural History.
