Casting a Wide Net recognizes the legacy of contributions that Dr. Joel C. Janetski made to archaeology through the influence of his mentoring and collaborations. This volume contains a short biography of Dr. Janetski as well as chapters authored by his former students and research collaborators. While generally focused on Utah, the essays cover topics that overlap with Dr. Janetski's research interests including: the Fremont, Ancestral Puebloan of southeastern Utah, Late Prehistoric peoples in northern Utah, faunal studies, and museum studies.
