In Bioarchaeology of the Florida Gulf Coast, Dale Hutchinson
explores the role of human adaptation along the Gulf Coast of
Florida and the influence of coastal foraging on several indigenous
Florida populations. The Sarasota landmark known as Historic
Spanish Point has captured the attention of historians and
archaeologists for over 150 years. This picturesque location
includes remnants of a prehistoric Indian village and a massive
ancient burial mound-- known to archaeologists as the Palmer
Site--that is one of the largest mortuary sites uncovered in the
southeastern United States.Interpreting the Palmer population
(numbering over 400 burials circa 800 A.D.) by analyzing such
topics as health and diet, trauma, and demography, Hutchinson
provides a unique view of a post-Archaic group of Indians who lived
by hunting, collecting, and fishing rather than by agriculture.
This book provides new data that support a general absence of
agriculture among Florida Gulf Coast populations within the context
of great similarities but also substantial differences in nutrition
and health. Along the central and southern Florida Gulf Coast,
multiple lines of evidence such as site architecture, settlement
density and size, changes in ceramic technology, and the diversity
of shell and stone tools suggest that this period was one of
emerging social and political complexity accompanied by population
growth.The comparisons between the Florida Gulf Coast and other
coastal regions illuminate our understanding of coastal adaptation,
while comparisons with interior populations further stimulate
thoughts regarding the process of culture change during the
agricultural era. A volume in the Florida Museum of Natural
