The Fremont culture or Fremont people is a pre-Columbian archeological culture who existed in the area from AD 700 to 1300. It was next-door to, roughly contemporaneous with, but distinctly every other from the Ancestral Pueblo peoples. The culture customary its post from the Fremont River, where the first Fremont sites were discovered. The Fremont River in Utah flows from the Johnson Valley Reservoir close Fish Lake east through Capitol Reef National Park to Muddy Creek, whose headwaters begin just north of Emery.

Two significant Fremont culture sites are located north and south of the town. Artifacts such as pottery, manos and metates (millingstones), and weaponry have been found along Muddy and Ivie creeks. Coil pottery, which is most often used to identify archaeological sites as Fremont, is not totally different from that made by further Southwestern groups, nor are its vessel forms and designs distinct. What distinguishes Fremont pottery from supplementary ceramic types is the material from which it is constructed. Variations in temper, the granular stone or sand other to wet clay to ensure even airing and to prevent cracking, have been used to identify five major Fremont ceramic types. They augment Snake Valley gray in the southwestern ration of the Fremont region, Sevier gray in the central area, the Great Salt Lake gray in the northwestern area, and Uinta and Emery gray in the northeast and southwestern regions. Sevier, Snake Valley, and Emery gray moreover occur in painted varieties. A unique and beautiful painted bowl form, Ivie Creek black-on-white, is found along either side of the southern Wasatch Plateau. In supplement to these five major types found at Fremont villages, a variety of locally made pottery wares are found upon the fringes of the Fremont region in areas occupied by people who seem to have been principally hunters and gatherers rather than farmers. The Rochester Rock Art Panel 3 miles (5 km) west of Emery is a significant rock art panel left by the Fremont People and has been the intend of vandalism and holdover thieves.
